"Well, I - I think that it - it wasn't enough to just want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em - and it's that - if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?"
~Dorothy






I went outside to take a picture of this brightly colored tree blowing in the wind.
A took a walk around the yard, to see what I could see.







Oh! Hi Katie :o)


A CHILD'S HYMN
Charles Dickens

Hear my prayer, O heavenly Father,
Ere I lay me down to sleep;
Bid Thy angels, pure and holy,
Round my bed their vigil keep.

My sins are heavy, but Thy mercy
Far outweighs them, every one;
Down before Thy cross I cast them,
Trusting in Thy help alone.

Keep me through this night of peril
Underneath its boundless shade;
Take me to Thy rest, I pray Thee,
When my pilgrimage is made.

None shall measure out Thy patience
By the span of human thought;
None shall bound the tender mercies
Which Thy Holy Son has bought.

Pardon all my past transgressions,
Give me strength for days to come;
Guide and guard me with Thy blessing
Till Thy angels bid me home.


I have had that poem saved for the longest time and I don't think I ever shared it here.

Maybe I thought it was a teeny bit morbid and perhaps heavy for a child.
But who am I to argue with Dickens?

So here it is.

I think you can handle it :o)

What do you think?


See you in the comments!

And Greys Anatomy! I almost forgot. It was very good wasn't it.
Camille's plot line broke my heart. Wasn't that well written.

And then McDreamy's proposal!!!!
