Weathering the Storms and keeping Warm

Someday I want to be a Cardinal with fledglings... 

Taking on the Spirit of LADY LIBERTY 

MAKING IT WORTHWHILE TO ASPIRE and grow 

as Fledglings in a New World where 

Liberty Rings for Everyone...  

Give me your Poor and wandering Souls 

We will teach them to toil and grow 

fruits and vegetable and live 

off the Land  to show appreciation 

for Opportunity...   

Sunflowers and Sunshine 

Homes made from Trees 

that give Shelter by the Sea... 

Where Birds and Bees can be free 

in the Land of the Free...

I think the title says it all “Weather the storms and keep warm” It’s funny we destroy a visible nature but worship an invisible God. We should worship a visible nature. Nature is strange too looks so inviting and harmonious but underneath its eat or be eaten. Nice one Pat

dear Andrew… you are so Gracious… with Patience we can survive the Storms. With Prayer we can Save our Children and Heirs Til Kingdom Come… Amen… Pat

I enjoyed this one Patricia. It reminded me of this song.
"Give us your daily bread
We have no shoes to wear
No place to call our own
Only this cross to bear
We are the multitudes
Lend us a helping hand
Is there no love anymore
Living in the promise land?
Living in the promise land
Our dreams are made of steel
The prayer of every man
Is to know how freedom feels" David Lynn Jones

[Samuel Dickens]

I sense a bit of the good book in this. "Behold, the fowls of the air". In hard times, that thought has often come to mind. Very nice writing, my friend.

dearest Samuel… my Grandfather Dave was a Coal Miner in West Virginia.. he and wife Minnie raised three boys and three girls in a weather beaten Home on a Hill in the Holler. They got water from the Creek and heated their home with a Black Iron Stove that was also used to Cook and Bake in the Oven. Dave saved enough Money to buy 40 screws for a 🎶 Song in Delaware. Dave and two of his Sons worked on the Railroad . Four of the children Married and build their own Homes from the Trees on the Land. We have built Homes that require lots of Money and now Millions of Immigrants recently were Invited to Cross our Border to have Free Time to plunder our Country… A far Cry from working Diligently. We Pay dearly for not Keeping the Laws of the Wild West where Law and Order was Kept and Respected. I hope and Pray for all the Innocent God-fearing People and Children. 🙏 Prayers and ❤️ Pat

Correction…. Dave Roop purchased Forty Acres of Land for a Song… in Delaware in the late thirties… Pat to Samuel… 🇺🇸

You and I come from the same kind of stock--very poor, hardworking folk.

[Lorry]

Ah! I see what youve done here Pat, covering nature so eloquently yet it builds into another poem entirely that can be a featured write on fourth of july too!
Ill need to remember that one, seeing as im not writing very much of anything these days, although maybe santa and baby jeebus, along with the easter bunny could merge into a superpower of animation..... But best not invite Mohammad, as i hear he is a bit of a diva sith his "no pictures, or death!" rule.
Now, if you'll excuse me, im away to write the next simpsons! 😊

[Patricia Wedel]

i couldnt his innocent face since a decade, but people talk about grudge, how innocently being cunning, using him for without any care for him.

[Betty Hermelee]

good point and a tribute to the great statue;. what fears me the most is losing our freedom and liberty... maybe the fledgling birds can say a prayer for us and hope it gets into the ears of the conspirators....lovely words Pat ,as always....keep praying....
Warmly, B

[Patricia Wedel]

We will influence our Children that Prayer 🙏 is the Key to a Peaceful Life… Artists 🧑‍🎨 like you will brush the future with Liberty and Laws to Keep us Safe… gently, Pat
