" Blood Is Thicker Than Water " ................................................... Give thanks to the new born day A promise of joys to come Sweet the morning dew settles all around Carpeting the meadows and fields A song thrush warbles his melodious tune And a refreshing wind ruffles the leaves I lean back on the trunk of an elm Breathing in the scent of hyacinths Its so good to have a clear mind Untouched by the cares of the world I'm so glad of all the gifts that I have I give gratitude to the Lord above For all that he has done for me Personal miracles throughout my life Not to mention those ones hidden from sight A smile lights up my face As I remember all those lost souls so fond Who passed on the baton to me Parents and grandparents of mine Teachers of right from wrong They instilled this child with love and compassion And as I move on through life I'll forever hold them dear Knowing that one day I'll see Their kindred faces again Great rejoicing will ring out loud and clear And in the Lord's House we'll be of good cheer When the Circle of Destiny is complete Copyright by Peter Paton 2006

A wonderful family poem. The line I like the best is: "And in the Lord's House we'll be of good cheer." God Bless you as you write. John Michael

It's a generational milestone, Peter! Passing that baton of gratitude probably lies in the familial interaction between teacher and pupil. Passing on wisdom is surely a strengthener to society and let's don't forget it. Awesome scripture today, Peter! Sage

Family life is so important but that is changing too Peter in this forever changing world - There is much to pray about for many young people are mixed up about marriage being a lasting thing. They are afraid to make the commitment but once you take that first step of bring life into the world you have made a commitment. Blessings on family life
