Summer Breeze

Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.

Woodland Dream

       
 There is a place

                           all moist and green

                                             out where the fairies live.

       And there I go

                         to refresh my soul

                                              out where the fairies live.

A Maybe - Reaching for the Stars

I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are. 

Milton Berle

You may have to read this quote a couple of times to "get" it.....and I'm not sure if he was trying to by funny or not ....but those words really hit home for me!

You're a grand old flag, 

You're a high flying flag 

And forever in peace may you wave. 

You're the emblem of 

The land I love. 

The home of the free and the brave. 

Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the

 Red, White and Blue, 

Where there's never a boast or brag.

 Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 

Keep your eye on the grand old flag. 

~ George M. Cohan
