Freeze-Framed

Freeze-framed, flash-frozen, shrivelled before your time; Frost has won the battle, but the war is in your mind. Stunted mite, measly runt, bud in haggard role; Life has robbed your freshest bloom, but cannot eat your soul.

Freeze-framed, flash-frozen, shrivelled before your time;

Frost has won the battle, but the war is in your mind.

Stunted mite, measly runt, bud in haggard role;

Life has robbed your freshest bloom, but cannot eat your soul.

    “The war is in your mind”–reminds me of Joyce Meyer’s great teaching–and is applicable currently. Excuse me while I go preach myself happy. God bless you–love, Caddo

        Oh, I’ve got one, thanks–it’s a bit rickety, the ply-board’s worn and scratched, but it works. You know us survivors–we just make do, eh?

        🙂 Indeed!

    Melody, I know you do not accept awards, but I wanted to acknowledge the contributions you made to my growth in the blogosphere.

    I am inviting you to the Ligo Circle of Appreciation. This is not an award per se, but a chance to highlight 2 bloggers per day for 22 days in October.

    Thank you,

    Ivon

        Thanks for your kind words, Ivon. I guess we are evolving together, aren’t we? Looks like a nice idea, just to link to and refer people to a few blogs. I’ll try it!

        I think you are right. I struggle with getting back on awards and I feel guilty because I know I leave out worthy bloggers.

    I loved the photo and the message in this strong poem! Thanks Melody! I struggle to write one small simple poem a day, and here you zip off 3! God bless your faithfulness!

      Thanks Debbie! I consider this ability a gift, an unexpected delight along a long and tedious, and very difficult journey. I am so blessed that there are others who enjoy this gift as much as I do – thanks for your support and encouragement of my work!
