prim and proper
showing Amish upbringing
she has chosen to live among the English
we see her plain ways
when she turns her white bows on her lacy socks show
enlightening many of us...

Amish Sundown in the Hayfield


Heaven bright sunshine
slowly shadows 
the hand-knotted
bundles, scenting the air
with sweet blessings,
for a peaceful night.

Simple
people who love
God, family and neighbor.
Progress is never considered
without consulting their church councilmen.
Everyone lives by their church faith
upholding Christian rule
and living life 
Simple

This love swelling up within me
Brings me to an epiphany
Breaking the rules of gravity
I fly into he arms of Grace.

Crucifying the flesh, the witch called Selfish
Embracing the Amish I make a wish
To never abandon the rich
For which I am a snitch....

Amish way of life,
Very simple ways,
Work from morn 'till night,
Then another day,
Amish way of life.

Family first,
In unity,
Always caring,
Community.

God-fearing,
Sabbath day,
Giving praise.

Buggies,
Horse and,

Barn....

Dive under any 
skirt that floats 
your way, Amish 
or otherwise,
metaphorically speaking.
Be an explorer.

Sail every sea until
you find the eddy 
you want to swirl in
the rest of your life.
Then stake your claim. 
Make it your own.

Snow 
Cold and white 
Like clouds in a sky 
Lots of it on the ground
Surrounding me 
As I go 
For my morning walk 

I see an Amish man go by 
On his snow plow 
Pulled by horses
With a dog following 
On the ground

And soon a path 
Is being made 
So that people 
Can get to and from town 
In the Amish community

The boxes are filled 
      with cards
and the people are 
       milling about
  Seems like another card 
show is taking place
    here in the heartland
of the Amish 
     tomorrow a church 
Monday, a Seder
   Collecting cards 
definitely 
   keeps one sane
and so do puzzles 
   Is love a game? 
That is another question altogether...

Four horses were in unison;
Pulling wagons have been;
Surely such a noble sight;
To see brought much delight.

Distinct leader one always is
May experience loneliness,
Who is an example setting;
Petting him will be letting;

Wagon with much weight;
Return home was never late
With distinguished beauty
He did complete his duty.

Wrote this about an Amish Scene....

amish capital of holmes county
feed mills, flour mills,
amish canned goods
bringing in tourism
broasted chicken
horses chopping up state route 93
leavign souveniers on road way
'family park along creek
as train goes through town
children retreiving coins on tracks
as they are worn thin
BALTIC
home at one time
now somewhere to go for vacation
while visiting family and friends...

The Labrea Tar Pits in a pastry shell
can be for flying insects, a living hell.
They are drawn to something so sticky and sweet.
It still shows some remnants of an oven’s heat.
When they land there, certain death is what they meet.
Its purpose is so the Amish folks can eat.
For Dinah Shore and others, it’s a nice treat.
If in Eastern Pennsylvania passing by,
don’t forget to pick up some shoofly pie....

We big spending
Humans
Are way
Too technology
Existent.
Vexed by the simpler,
Early lifestyles of our ancestors;
Remember that there is a cheaper way to do everything.

For instance,
Look
Over
At
The Amish
Sects.

Year after year, they survive 
On the ways of nature;
United by their beliefs;
Rare though, they may be.

By living
Only by the simplest methods,
Are they 
Thriving, successfully....

Gina
always lights up a room
a smile as big as a lollipop
smells fresher then new cut hay
loving as a new puppy
works harder then a beaver
heart as big as the grand canyon
the specialists person in my life
cooks better then sara lee
fishs better then bill dance
more outdoors then davy crocket
sews better then a sewing machine
builds better then the amish
drives better then jeff gordon
glows brighter then the sun
thats why we love gina...
