Composed by Vince Gill when his own brother died, but with a slight alteration of lyrics this could be in honor of any lost loved one. May my darling mother rest forever in sweet peace on the holy mountain.
When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted
Rudyard Kipling 1892 L'Envoi To "The Seven Seas" When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it -- lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew. And those that were good shall be happy; they shall sit in a golden chair; They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair. They shall find real saints to draw from -- Magdalene, Peter, and Paul; They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! And only The Master shall praise us, and only The Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star, Will draw the thing as he sees it, for the God of things as they are!
A Favorite Beauty Spot
When breezes are soft and skies are fair,
I steal an hour from study and care,
And hie me away to the woodland scene,
Where wanders the stream with waters of green
~~ William Cullen Bryant
Summing up the new year (3 weeks late)
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, “The Year” (1910)
If there is a New Year's Eve poem worth putting to memory, it is Ella Wheeler Wilcox's "The Year." This short and rhythmical poem sums up everything we experience with the passing of each year and it rolls off the tongue when recited.
What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That’s not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our bride
Once again, another tragic pet loss
My baby is gone. My heart is once again torn into shreds, so soon after the loss of her sister in Sept. Missy was slightly better Monday after intravenous and other care, but later on got worse and even had kidney failure due to the heart being so bad. I had to say goodbye to her today. But she was just exhausted and in pain, vet said I could take her home but "it would be really sad." She was just so old and so thin, no fight left in her body. I had to let her go. She is better off now, back with all her friends that she outlived, also my Mom who loved animals so much. And my Dad too, he was such a devoted pet owner.

Now I am crying after reading your journals..... I am so sorry....I know how it feels.. My family died away too. My father in law died in 98, my mother in law, 2000, my husband 2004, my father 2007, my mother 2010, So that leaves me ... I felt so abandoned. I felt like an orphan even though I was 49 when my mother died. Till this day Its like I cant wrap my head around that.. I had this family and they all left... ist that crazy...I think back to when we were all younger...and for holiday dinners we had 8 people around the table.. now since my kids grew up and have there own lives... its just me and my friend ray.. and i always get a bit mad that that life is no more/ so big hugs my dear you have a friend in me..
