It Is Well With My Soul

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." ( Isaiah 41: 10).

I Love You Papa Bear

The lonely farm, the crowded street,the palace and the slum, give welcome to my silent feet, as, bearing gifts, I come. Last night a beggar crouched alone, a ragged helpless thing; I set him on a moonbeam throne; Today he is a king. Last night a king in orb and crown, held court with splendid cheer; today he tears his purple gown, and moans and shrieks in fear. Not iron bars, nor flashing spears, not land, nor sky, nor sea, nor love's artillery of tears, can keep mine own from me. Serene, unchanging, ever fair, I smile with secret mirth and in a net of mine own hair I swing the captive earth. By Joyce Kilmer and dedicated by me, to my precious husband, my soulmate and my sun, my moon and my stars. I LOVE YOU TILL THE END SWEET PAPA BEAR xxxx
