Flourishing weeds they are indeed time will gather them… History may enamour Them. Yet the GOD of all he reads their Hearts.. Black and rebellious they hurl fiery darts.. Yet anon and anon and they Will be judged.. Dashed on the stone that Will never budge..’

True. Those that cling to God, to know Him will find solace, but oft too many long to take their own revenge though it hurts.

Hmm we cannot truly take Revenge.’ Where would get in from.? And where would we store it between times Kim? No only the eternal Gods can Do this in my estimation’ All blessings Kim’

Your poems are food for our brains, some I can never fathom out, some I study and get it and others you go easy on us. KUDUs - YOU'RE RATHER COOL! The last two months, arranging for agents to come see or house, the more the merrier but yours truly also had to put up with cancellations. We sold within the first month, packing still packing, hate it, but in two weeks , going to one of our sons cottages. Selling loved furniture is sad, it just wont fit. Please excuse silence, blessings, Jen.
