She looked under the tinseled
Norway Spruce.
As a child
she imagined herself
shrinking even smaller than she was
escaping in a Christmas ornament

and landing
in a
land of perfect happiness.

But now as an adult
she has learned that
she can expand beyond
her size

right where she's standing
and confidently stride
instead of hide
to discover all the happiness
the world needs.
Twice upon a time...
It's great to have
and
give a second chance.
Oh Anita -- talk about matching the perfect music to the perfect words and images. I love every single thing about this post. Every note of music, every image, every thought behind your poem. And yes, to be bigger than you ever thought you could be -- oh, yes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting the blog. Blogger stopped sending me comments and I'm behind on answering people but you know I love it when you come by! Have a lovely Thanksgiving break.
Lovely post, friend C … but (again) no video for me … Wonder why that is … Do you put in the whole long link into blogger Hotmail? Just asking, because that's how it works for me, and Dutchess. Just sayin ... Much love, cat.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a treat to see a new post from Castles Crowns and Cottages in my blog roll.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful my dear.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving.
Ooh, that music is so perfect! Love your words and images, especially how they merge into a beautiful moment. xxoo Rhonda
ReplyDeleteTruly heart-poundingly magnificent, Anita! I'm just going to sit here and listen and watch and read over and over. Stride on, we'll follow!

ReplyDeleteand tears are streaming now.
your words and the music are mere perfection. thank you!
I am always filled with wonder when I see your photos, Anita. That miniature stage coach hehehe. I can just see you as a child looking at it and dreaming of being inside. That is the cutest ornament. And that cottage looks just like a Christmas cottage covered in snow. Yes, second chances are wonderful in life, and how blessed we are to be given even more chances than that. Happy Thanksgiving to you, my special friend. I'm thankful for all the love you've given me through the years and just for being YOU.

Anita,
Tu nous donnes,
quand la nuit est trop sombre,
la lumière de tes étoiles,
l'espoir d’une aube rayonnante,
l’extase de tes rêves...
Beautiful post dear Anita and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see such a sweet post from you and loved the thought of you imagining you are riding in the little stagecoach.
Enjoy your thanksgiving break.
Hugs
Carolyn
I had to come over and see this ornament again. That is the cutest little thing, I want one! I know what you mean about imagining as a child. My mom would buy me colored construction paper from time to time, and I would make all sorts of things with markers, glue, beads, and glitter! I hope you are having a nice Thanksgiving, Anita. I just had a piece of pumpkin pie. : ) ~Sheri
