'Fox News Sunday' to Host Kentucky Senate Debate

'Mon Amie La Rose'

We are truly insignificant
And that's what my friend the rose
Told me this morning

I was born at dawn
Baptised in dew
I blossomed
In the rays of the sun
Happy and in love
I closed my petals at night
And when I awoke I was old.
Yet I had been beautiful
Yes, I was the most beautiful
Of all the flowers in your garden

See, the God that made me
Now makes me bow my head
And I feel I'm falling
And I feel I'm falling
My heart is almost bare
I have a foot in my grave
Already I am nothing
You admired me only yesterday
And I shall be dust
Forever, tomorrow

We are truly insignificant
And my friend the rose
Died this morning

Last night the moon
Kept vigil over my friend
And in a dream I saw
Her soul, dancing
Dazzling and naked,
Above the heavens,
Smiling on me.
Let those who can, believe
But I need Hope
Or else I am nothing ~~~

Me too,TOFY!My Dad would get my brother and me up and say the push mower is out waiting for you.My brother would tie a rope to the front and he would push from the rear and we cut our large yard,that way.Still remember when my Dad and his parents killed a hog out back and put him in the hot water to remove hair.Gran-dad had a shelf with boxed sections where he salted the hams kept in a back shed.Mom had chickens and I learned to cut off the heads with the hatchet and over a large block of wood.Grand-mon could wring the head off but I never learned that trick.Were they the best of days?or,is it that they just seem that way because we had none of this political mish-mash of today?

**********

You guys are making me laugh. Chickens, hogs, boiling water. You have to admit, nothing *stank* worse than this. Chicken feathers in hot water, OMG how gross! Your talking like this is bringing back visuals. I was about five. Grandma was in the working basement doing up some hog. I happened down the stairs to see what she was doing and then, the grossest thing I ever saw was a pig laying on a table slit down the middle. I can still see it's long eyelashes and how it was spread eagle still with the legs on it. Grandma was ladling out blood from the abdomen with one of those long handled white ladles with the black trim, scooping out from the belly and pouring blood into a large white bucket of the same black trim.

I asked her what she was doing all that for, while I had to hold my nose it was so disgustingly awful smelling. I didn't stay long, but that visual is one that crossed my mind many times through the years. That woman had the stuff it took for people of her time, thinking nothing too much of it while grossing me out. I never went back down there either. LOL!!!!!!

Thank you!
You are the kind of "political" person, my Daddy was ...
He passed in '85.
My Mama was a Republican, Dad a Democrat ...
So I could/can see "both" sides ...

Patriotism is "what" matters!
You, my friend, I believe have it!

Along with several others on here.
Some do NOT, you can tell by their comments/manners.

Self-respect/esteem "goes" a long way.
Some do not have that, even.....

Sad :(

I'm with you on that Syl,I hated breakin' beans and choppin' cabbage.
But loved goin' to Granny's cellar for anything you could think of that could be canned. The blackberries for dumplings out of this world.
We also raised chickens and slaughtered two hogs for winter.
My granny tried to show me how to ring a chickens neck,but I was too small in the 60's lol. wasn't too small to eat it though!
My Pap and I ran trot-lines and he was 80 years old..those catfish were
delicious.Don't think I would eat anything from the Cumberland river now..unless I was real hungry!
And there were no weed-eaters..check that I was the weed-eater.
My Dad would sharpen the hand sickles lay them on the porch...come in my room before he went to work...jerk off the cover and say don't won't one weed standing when I get home this evening!
No problem...Dad!
But you know what? I WOULD LOVE THOSE TIMES AGAIN!
TOFY

HA! Me to. When you mentioned weeds, made me think about my mother and grandma picking "greens" poke, dock,and others I can't remember the names, but remember if I saw them again. I cried when I was made to eat "weeds". Dad worked all week in the mines, but come Saturday evening, him and mom would take us to Dewey lake to swim, then to the old drive in theater.
Can you imagine anyone doing that now?
Guess I'm telling my age.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever.

The feathers were saved for pillows and bedding. I remember sleeping on the old feather bed at grandma's and hearing the rain on the tin roof. Oh my, I think I'm getting sentimental . This is bringing back so many memories.
