Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi Tabitha. I would love to get together sometime! Better than this Friday though, is that I get to the Q-C ALL the time. 1-2 x month. Since you went shopping in Davenport (!) maybe we could meet up somewhere between Rock Island and Maquoketa. We can e-mail particulars if you feel up to it sometime. You can just answer this WHENEVER it is best for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I just wanted to share with you one of my favorite poems. I hope you like it. LaRena The Rose Beyond the Wall Near shady wall a rose once grew, Budded and blossomed in God’s free light, Watered and fed by morning dew, Shedding its sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, Slowly rising to loftier height, It came to a crevice in the wall Through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with added strength With never a thought of fear or pride, It followed the light through the crevice’s length And unfolded itself on the other side. The light, the dew, the broadening view Were found the same as they were before, And it lost itself in beauties new, Breathing its fragrance more and more. Shall claim of death cause us to grieve And make our courage faint and fall? Nay! Let us faith and hope receive— The rose still grows beyond the wall, Scattering fragrance far and wide Just as it did in days of yore, Just as it did on the other side, Just as it will forevermore. -A.
