CAMPIN' IN CHICAGO by Hilary McRee Flanery (based on my own family life)

CAMPIN\
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy birthin' and I will give you..." "Yours, mine and..." Who cares! From the heartland of America meet the "Fighting-Flanigans", that's Flanigan with one "n" in the first syllable because someone dropped the other "n" in the ocean on the way over from the Sod!

Heaven


HOW MANY SEASONS

How many seasons
Have come and gone.
Many a sunset,
Many a dawn.

Many communions,
Many processions,
Many a sin, I have
For confessions.

How many seasons,
A second in time,
Where anguished, we wait,
No reason or rhyme.

Fish live in water,
In water, comply.
Time, we are biding,
Or too fast…goes by.

We do not relish
Our world like the fish
Who swims in his pond
While we pray and we wish.

How many seasons
Will time be our friend?
When we realize we’re made
For the world without end!

Hi! May I use this beautiful photo on my blog? I'd like to post a teaching about heaven by James MacDonald, and this seems to be the perfect photo! Thanks!

It's fine with me Anaabelle but actually it is not mine. I usually go to Google Images and take pictures from there but if you want to try and use it be my guest but I have no way to send it to you. God bless.
