In summer, the song sings itself...

My best model- my boy Robinson
I could never in a hundred summers get tired of this...

Preghiera per i tempi difficili

O Dio, che hai fatto il cielo e la terra, che mi hai dato  la speranza di primavera,  e un cane fedele, per scaldare la mia solitudine,  non abbandonare i tuoi figli dispersi in un mondo ostile e buio...  Dacci un posto sicuro  e la forza per resistere alla tempesta, che sta cambiando la nostra vita, perche  niente sara piu lo stesso quando si calmeranno le acque... Dacci il coraggio per non sentire la nostalgia del passato  e la tenerezza per ricordare le cose belle  senza rancore....  Salvaci, o Signore dalla peste, dalla fame,  dal fuoco e dalla guerra  e liberaci dalle nostre paure... Dacci fede da muovere le montagne e un amore  che tutto comprende dacci la liberta di scegliere bene e di andare sempre avanti e di non guardare indietro,  finche non arriveremo alla tua porta,  stanchi, ma felici,  come i bambini tornati a casa...

Ah, 'tis then I love to wander, Wander idly and alone, Listening to the solemn music Of sweet nature's undertone; Wrapt in thoughts I cannot utter, Dreams my tongue cannot express, Dreams that match the autumn's sadness In their longing tenderness." -  Mortimer Crane Brown, Autumn Dreams

My boy Vondracek: A Dog for Jesus (Where dogs go when they die) I wish someone had given Jesus a dog. As loyal and loving as mine. To sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes And adore Him for being divine. As our Lord grew to manhood His faithful dog, Would have followed Him all through the day. While He preached to the crowds and made the sick well And knelt in the garden to pray. It is sad to remember that Christ went away. To face death alone and apart. With no tender dog following close behind, To comfort its Master's Heart. And when Jesus rose on Easter mourn, How happy He would have been, As His dog kissed His hand and barked it's delight, For The One who died for all men. Well, the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine. The old pal so dear to me. And I smile through my tears on this first day alone, Knowing they're in eternity. Day after day, the whole day through, Wherever my road inclined, Four feet said, "Wait, I'm coming with you!" And trotted a...
