We begin from flesh
Return to the earth as bone
Awaiting entrance
Hoping, as we, mere mortals
End, with the sheer grace of God
Join Sue, every Thursday, as she delights us with a new photo (or two)!

Nature blooms sweetly
When earth and water unite
In a single breath

I was flying around through the cosmos
When out of nowhere, it flew by, with a zip
It scared the living daylights out of me
Now I have the worst case of the pucchips
My innards are starting to rattle
My outsides are shaking like a leaf
It’s one close call after another
I’m getting all banged up. Good grief!
You think it’s so easy, up here in space
You think you could do this yourself
Well, let me tell you a little something
It doesn’t work by reading a book off a shelf
It takes years of hard work and some practice
And you always hope the engineers get it right
Or else you’ll be flying around here, like me
Somewhere lost, in the middle of the night
I’m sending my signals back to Earth
Hoping, soon, someone is bound to hear
I’m tired of hanging around in midair
Outer space, you no longer endear

Bees are drawn to flowers
Summer blooms, among the trees
Their gentle fragrance lingers
As it wafts in the morning breeze
But you must be extra careful
Don’t get to close to the Hollyhocks
The bees won’t like you snooping
Be prepared for an aftershock
No, not the thorns on the stems
Although, they will prick you, too
You see, honeybees give no warning
And they’ll sting, it’s what they do
But be aware, these bees are the only ones
To die after they leave their stinger
We need to take good care of them
Or our Earth may no longer linger

Lighting the skies, in the shape of the sun
Satellites, like stars, gathered and hummed
Ready to take over, this planet called Earth
Looking for a reason, for their alien rebirth
Awaiting, the mothership orders them to proceed
Each of them, anxious, to complete their deed
Hurriedly, landing, on fields and mountain tops
Running, grabbing, and returning with their crops
Back on board, where the engines were gunning
Successfully defeating the humans, how cunning
Never revealing to us, this new hidden race
That made a quick exit, back into outer space
