"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."

- Mathilde Blind - "April Rain"

 


 I wish you dear Friend a weekend with peace
and that you enjoy Mother Earth beauty.

"The people I'm furious with
are the women's liberationists.
They keep getting up on soapboxes
and proclaiming
women are brighter than men.
That's true, but it should be kept quiet
or it ruins the whole racket."

- Anita Loos -
 New York Times, 10 February 1974

 

 ... I simply love this quote.
I hope that it makes you smile

What if you slept?
And what if,
in your sleep, you dreamed?
And what if, in your dream,
you went to heaven
and there plucked a strange
and beautiful flower?
And what if,
when you awoke,
you had the flower in your hand?
Ah, what then?

- Samuel Taylor Coleridge -

 

... I wish you my dear Friend
 a week full of dreams

Good Bye Moon

We have roamed the wild country
We have seen mountains grow from hills
With my brothers and sisters
And now our time has came
The two-legs have come in
And killed all of our prey
We are all so confused
Because what have we done?
The two-legs killed my mother
My brothers and sisters too
The two-legs has got me.
I'll be with my family soon.
Now the two-legs is over me
As I get one last look
At my boloved moon.



... with Love
Ana

Just another week

Monday must be
The most horrible of days
But wait, please listen
Do not worry my friend
All Mondays must end
Tuesday morning will be
Faster will pass you will see
Wednesday is the midle
Some words I'ii write in a ridl
Let us make this winter day
A joyful and bright Thursday
Friday is certainly the best
You work with a smile
And just for a little while
Because tomorrow, Saturdat will be
And after Sunday will come
For you and me
And we will go on living
Another week has passed
Another will begin



Have a wonderful week dear friend
With Love
Ana

CONNECTED TO OUR MOTHER

If you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
The sun makes the plants,
Animals eat the plants,
The humans eat the animals,
and Earth needs the humans to take care of it.
So you see, as you stare
into the endless sky,
we live from our Mother Gaia's birth,
and if you understand Nature,
The deer will eat from your hand.
And we all, plants, animals, humans,
are children of the Earth

Maria Domeier,gr. 5, Red Wing, MN

Thank you for you:
- for who you are.
And for the words you send to me.
Knowing simply that you're there
So far away from here
Yet thinking much of me,
Opens up my happiness,
Undone for all to see.




... for beeing such a perfect friend
With Love
Ana

"A friend is someone
 who dances with you in the sunlight and,
 walks with you in the shadows.
 Is someone
 who stays there in silence and,
 hears what you say no mater the subject.
 Walks by your side and,
 behind you and catchs if you stumble.
 A FRIEND is a gift, a treasure to keep,to honour,
 whom we give a permanent place in our hearts."



... I love you sweet friend and,
 I wish you a wonderful weekend.

A Smile
 
A smile
can tell a story
or whisper a single word
Brightens a face
Shadows a past
Welcomes
Repels
A cover-up
A window to the mind

A stairway to the heart.

by Maria (aged 12)




... I wish you dear friend,
a week full of smiles  
With Love

What is a Poem
 A poem is hidden in the soundlessspeechless soft clouds
Tossing turning twisting
in the crystal clear aquamarine sky
Look inside a pleasing pretty flower
Climb immeasurable immenseimpressive mountains
If you find a poem handle it carefully
Like a newborn puppy
For a poem can die or slip through fingers
Like creamy butter
And be lost in the dark streets
Look in places where you
 have never been before
And there you might find a poem
Lost somewhere in the soft clouds
The clear sky or a pretty flower
Waiting for you!
by Amber Hickman (aged 8)


Have a great week
Ana

Human Energy

When I give light
I also receive,
When I smile
I give light to others,
they give light to me.
It is with the light
all of us give, all,
that we are free.

... I wish you my friend a weekend full of light

When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things.
It gives the shadows dancing shoes
It gives the bright leaves wings
When autumn wind goes running

It curls the bonfire's tail of smoke
And shares a little whispered joke
With cornstalks who delight to prattle
It turns a seed pod into a rattle
When autumn wind goes running

is still in our power. Earth is our home

so let us thank Her giving a chance to cure

the wounds we made."

A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.





... with Love

Ana

A true Friend

A true friend never walks away
A true friend will always stay
A true friend looks out for you

A true friend tries to make you smile
Tries to replace that frown
They may not always succeed
But they rarely let you down

My arms for you are open
This heart for you does care
And when I think you need me
I'll try to always be there.
