In The Shadow Of A Rainbow

[Pokey's Heart]

In the shadow of a rainbow,
We'll walk hand in hand.
Shimmering spirits together,
Just like God had planned.

In the shadow of a rainbow,
I'll walk with you, my friend.
God's love fills up our hearts,
And will through journey's end.

In the shadow of a rainbow,
Such wondrous signs abound.
In the shadow of a rainbow,
Upon God's sacred ground.

In the shadow of a rainbow,
I'll wait for you, my friend.
We'll share our wondrous blessings,
Where joy shall never end.

Pokey Lanford

(this poem was inspired by a native american saying "we have walked in the shadow of a rainbow" when something wondrous was seen or experienced. We all walk in the shadow of rainbows if we open our eyes!)

Oh no, Pokey...........Jeff recognizes great talent and beauty when he sees it. He knows because you and he have a kindred spirit. This truly should be an ecard.............I LOVE rainbows and this poem made my heart move with compassion.

It made me think about how wonderful friendship can be. Friends are so precious. And when you add a rainbow to to it, what could be more perfect. Your tender heart sure made this one a beauty. I love you, sweet Pokey....

Buttercup, he's been a pickin at my mater plant! Comes a sneakin in at night when we are snoozin and in the morning they are all gone. told him I was a gonna git his little hide, hahaa!
Just havin some fun, it's wonderful to laugh. thanks for the comments on the poem, for sure. That saying has been running around my head, so you know me, I had to do something with it. Not e-card material in my book, but you know us writers, we gotta write! After I put it out there, I don't even keep copies, anymore! And of course, you KNOW I thought of my bird that came to visit!


I love yall always,
Pokey bee

[hisheart]

AH HA!!!! Now the truth comes out....I shuddah knowed that that there Jeffie was upta sumpin!!! Does he unnerstan the trubbles that little mater plant has had? But, it is strong and very determined.

And your bird is painting pictures in my mind. As you said, we writers just have to write. You two, Pokey and Jeff, are so fun! Love you both,

Congratulations Pokie! That really is a nice poem and well worthy of an ecard!
Even though Jeffie has been pestering your maters, he still is a sweetie. Just be careful not too hurt him too much with yer broomstick, OK? lol
Guess he knows that maters are really good for fighting off that nasty cancer bug. I used to drink at least a glassful of mater juice everyday while doing chemo n radiation, think that was the only thing I enjoyed.
Our Lord bless you Pokie and thanks for sharing ur beautiful thoughts.
Love,
Teresa
