For Kathie

To My Granddaughter

By Ernestine Cobern Beyer

Kathie's eyes are bright, alive,
Her manner, blithely charming,
And though her years are only five,
Her wisdom is disarming.

When she, at times, invades my room,
I leave this peaceful place;
Astride Imagination's broom,
I soar with her in space.

Within my own she lays her hand,
And with a compass true,
She guides me to that happy land
Which long ago I knew.

Contemporaries, she and I!
For though my hair is white,
When Kathie blithely passes by,
She leaves me young and bright!

*Gotta windshield?

is ready when you are!

& they've been picked up
on Podcast Alley- check the
show notes for details on
where to vote:)

Many thanks, too...

to Dale Ahlquist, for the okay to
post his book on G. K. Chesterton:)

You know, all the times I've been
posting these books- I never thought
to ask...

Geez~

I also want to point out as was
mentioned before in a prior
post, (link)- that Mr. Alquist is the
president of the American Chester-
ton Society- linked to the right...

& that he is host, along with Chuck
Chalberg, of EWTN's series, G. K.
Chesterton: The Apostle of Common
Sense, which can be listened to from
the EWTN Audio Library- an excellent
service- also linked on the right.

I have to say again- I love the EWTN
AL, as I can listen to their programs
while I'm on the computer. There are
only a few linked here- but there is
also a direct link to the complete index
of programs for your convenience.

Two neat sites...
