IF I COULD BE WHERE YOU ARE

I MISS YOU...

Reaching out...

I can feel you, but can't touch you...

what I would give for just one more hug...

Time...

keeps on moving with it's smiles and it's tears...

But... it won't take me to you...

Beauty...

Wrapping the world in warmth and sunshine but...

not close to the beauty of your smile or heart...

Family and friends...

who are so very loved and highly appreciated...

showing such understanding and love, but they're not you...

and I miss you....

But I can't get to you....

I would, if I could...

        "If I Could Be Where You Are"
Lyrics written by Roma Ryan
---
Where are you this moment
Only in my dreams
You're missing, but you're always
a heartbeat from me.

I'm lost now without you.
I don't know where you are.
I keep watching,
I keep hoping,
but time keeps us apart.

[chorus]
Is there a way I can find you?
Is there a sign I should know?
Is there a road I could follow,
to bring you back home?

Winter lies before me,
Now you're so far away
In the darkness of my dreaming
The light of you will stay

If I could be close beside you,
If I could be where you are,
If I could reach out and touch you,
And bring you back home.

[chorus]
Is there a way I can find you?
Is there a sign I should know?
Is there a road I could follow,
to bring you back home?

To me...

Here Inside

    For the longest time I have wanted to make a youtube video  like so many of you do.   So when I watched the movie  "The Adventures of Greyfrairs Bobby"  I loved this song and thought I would make it my first attempt in putting together a video. Beautiful music and lots of happy memories in here:          

I did it, Cavie!!!! Thank you so much anyway!

I took this March 2010 With John's Kodak Z612 on a visit to my family in Cocoa Beach, FL. It was cropped in Picnik today 06-01-11

What would our oceans be....

without fish and plant life,

it's penguins and dolphins;

or the pelicans flying free?

~~~

 Like a swamp without our gator

a pond without our duck,

or a cave without our caveman...

JUST NOT RIGHT!   :-)

A site which made me smile today.... I thought it might do the same for some of you..... (the link is the first comment)

Yes, today is Cherie's Birthday.... After spending last year with her on her Birthday, I had decided that I was going to make sure that I was there for every Birthday after that...

 (Best laid plans...)  But I am there in heart and spirit!!!!

l

Seems as though we have our own little community going here on Multiply and the beauty of it is that miles don't matter (well, until you want to get a real hug from your friend again.)  Anyone that is blessed enough to know Cherie knows everything I am about to tell you... and anyone that doesn't know her needs to drop by and wish her Happy Birthday and get her in your life... it will be a day that you will always be thankful for!!!!  I know!!!!

So much to say about our Cherie....

She is such a good writer... but she is much more than a writer...

She is beautiful BUT she is much more than that!

She is a wonderful mother and grandmother......

    ( I know she looks too young!)

She is loving & kind!!!

She is so much fun and full of life and adventure!!!

She is the BEST FRIEND anyone could ask for!!!!

I could go on and on...

and still not cover how beautiful, kind, smart or loving she is....

Just please join me in wishing Cherie a very Happy Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHERIE....

MAY THIS YEAR BE YOUR BEST YEAR YET!!!

AND MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!!!

PICTURE PERFECT COMPETITION TIME WEEK THREE ~ FOCUSED

PICTURE PERFECT

This is week 3 of the 6 week competition.

Hosted this week by:

Cherie

 

The theme for week three is:

"Focused"

I remember the day I received my Canon XS.. I immediately went outside,
 laid on the ground and took pictures of some snapdragon flowers,
 which were in my front yard.  The camera was set on auto
 (As I knew nothing about the settings).
What excitement I felt when it focused on the flower
and the background was a blur... lol... it just seemed so beautiful to me. 
It is now well over a year later and I still haven't "learned" my camera settings
(It's a plan... must be saving it for retirement),
 but I still get excited with every "focused" picture. 
This one was taken leaving work one morning... ran to the car and got my camera.
 It was a simple pink daisy... they were on their way out and a bee
 but when I put them on my computer and they come flashing across the screen..
 to me they are just as beautiful as the one the first day...
 lol, but than they say, "Beauty is in the eye's of the beholder."

One year... the pain is still like a fresh cut... the memories of the love and good times are just as strong... I know our penguin is loved and missed by many! He continues to touch many of us every day.
