BEST FRIENDS

The Digital Whisper's Theme 
for this week's 
Digital Dreamers Challenge
is
 Best Friends 


I dedicate this digital art piece and poem to my best friend, Patti Koosed!  
Love you, Sister!!!!


“When I was a child, an angel came to say,
A true friend is coming, my warrior to sweep you away,
It won’t be easy the path because it leads through hell,
But if you’re faithful, it will be the greatest story to tell,
You will move God’s daughters to a place of hope,
Your story will teach everyone there is nothing they can’t cope,
You will suffer a lot, but not one tear will you waste,
Because for all that you do for me, you will be graced,

I am bringing you someone that wants to travel your trail,
Someone you already met when you passed through heaven’s veil,
A warrior, a friend that whispers your heart’s song,
Someone that will run with you and pull your spirit along,
Don’t you see the timing was true friendship's fated throw,
Because I put you both there to help one another grow,

I am the writer of all great stories, your chapters were written by me,
You suffered, you cried because I needed you to see,
That your faith in my ending goes far beyond two,
It was going to change more hearts than both of you knew,

So hush. my child. and wait for my loving hand,
The last chapter is not written and still in the sand,
It is up to you to finish, before the tide washes it away,
All that is in your heart, I’ve put there for you to say,
This is not about winning, loss, or pain,
Together your spirits will never fade,
Because two kindred spirits is what I made you to be,
A true friendship for life because of-- ME.”

"There are many things to be shared with the Four Colors of Humanity in our common destiny as one with our Mother the Earth.  It is this sharing that must be considered with great care by the Elders and the medicine people so that no harm may come through ignorance and misuse of theses powerful forces."

Digitail Whisper Challenge

Little Red Wagon

My children loved their Radio Flyer and I can still hear their laughter as they took turns riding and pulling each other up and down the driveway for hours!
 
 
Thank you, Patti, for another fun challenge! You always know exactly what theme to post  next that will challenge our imagination and keep our creative juices flowing! 
 
This art piece expresses the deep emotions I feel as I face what every mother must face
when their children begin their own journey towards adulthood.
 
Am I prepared for the day when I will find that my little nest is suddenly empty ?
 
As the years quickly passed by,
 my children pushed  aside one toy after another,
now they are all packed safely away.
 
Sentimental feelings for those toys often overflow in my heart because
each toy holds a special memory attached only to the child that loved it dearly.  
 
I own great treasure for within those plain, cardboard boxes are many precious gifts,
moments in time that will forever be.
Theses are the gifts my children have left for me.

The Three Muses Challenge

WHITE ON WHITE
 
 
 
 
You say I am discontented, proud and ambitious; that's true, and I'm glad of it. I am discontented, because I can't help feeling that there is a better sort of life than this dull one made up of everlasting work, with no object but money. I can't starve my soul for the sake of my body, and I mean to get out of the treadmill if I can. I'm proud, as you call it, because I hate dependence where there isn't any love to make it bearable.... I'm willing to work, but I want work that I can put my heart into, and feel that it does me good, no matter how hard it is. I only ask for a chance to be a useful, happy woman, and I don't think that is a bad ambition. Even if I only do what my dear mother did, earn my living honestly and happily, and leave a beautiful example behind me, to help one other woman as hers helps me, I shall be satisfied.
