</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's getting to be that time of year Jesus birthday.I wrote this little poem last year I love it and wanted to share it with my friends...<br />
The Dove and the Owl<br />
A little white Dove perched on a branch cooing<br />
A wise old Owl ask? Dove where are you going?<br />
I'm not sure, the Dove answered, but I must follow that star<br />
"May I rest in your tree, I've been flying so far"<br />
"That bright star? ask the Owl, "I noticed it too"<br />
"North I should think" as he gave out a hoot<br />
"Yes", said the Dove, "that's what the cattle all say"<br />
Just over in Bethlehem, even the donkey's did bray"<br />
"May I come along?" The wise owl did hoot<br />
"Oh yes " said the Dove, with a soft little coo<br />
The Dove and the Owl flew off into the night<br />
Onward to Bethlehem with the stars guiding light<br />
"THERE!" cooed the Dove, "Do you see what I see?"<br />
"Hoot Hoot" said the Owl as they sit high in a tree<br />
The stable is full, there are cattle and sheep<br />
The Wise Men and Sheppard's, and the new Baby sleeps<br />
"Oh, I must bring a gift" The Dove looked all about<br />
"Peace on earth has been born" Hoot, Hoot said the Owl<br />
With a soft little coo the Dove took a chance<br />
He flew down to the manger with a small olive branch<br />
Mary just smiled and took the branch in her hand Peace on earth has been born, Jesus, God's great gift to man<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas to all my friends and family God is good</div>Sally Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16896739835377190208noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682235899677792264.post-83608473384576426942010-12-03T20:19:00.000-08:002010-12-03T20:19:25.350-08:00Do They Have Sharks In the North East?<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shark Attack</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
