Someone's growing too fast.
Ready to leave home at last.
Their heads peek out the door.
They can't wait to explore.
Their parents are busy this morn
feeding their big babies worms.
And how they talk up a storm!
Their babies have lots to learn.
Are these parents saying 'stay'
or encouraging 'go play'?
Will today
be the day?
One leans too far out.
Suddenly he's out.
Or was he pushed
for two more heads push...
out the door
to explore
the outdoors
where fun lures.
The first one
air born
spreads his wings
in the wind.
He's free! He's free!
There's much to see.
He calls 'follow me'
to his siblings with glee.
There they go
down low
then up high as the breeze
blows in the trees leaves.
Spreading their wings
they glide on the wind.
Free!
Free!
Are their parents happy or sad?
Are these fledglings glad?
Their parents did their best.
All too soon there's an empty nest.

July Birthdays - Ice Cream Floats - Royal Manor Health Care Center -
Last Wednesday at the nursing home where Luci and I volunteer, we were invited for an ice cream social with entertainment ! The residents were beside themselves with anticipation for this party to begin ! Music from a local Blue Grass Family band played and sang throughout the party. They were quite good and asked the audience for requests. This amazingly talented family band was able to come up with their requests and have sing-alongs ! Nothing excites and elevates a person's endorphins as does music to the soul, no matter what age ! Singing with elderly folks has been proven to lift depression and loneliness !
Texas Home Health Hospice provided sugar-free ice cream and made floats, which were quite popular ! I moved about in the audience and spoke to men and women who wanted 'to talk.' It was fun getting to meet new residents, as they shared their lives.
The Activities Director, a multi-talented Godly woman played the piano, by ear, and sang with the band. TXHHH's Volunteer Director sang with the band, on stage !
I was a blessed through this hour of praising the Lord in song and sharing our lives. Volunteering my time for nursing home residents continues to be a passion and I believe God blesses this ministry !
