52 Weeks of Blessings- week 48 Christmas

The magic, love, hope and promise of Christmas seen in a child's eye.

The careful removal of their ornaments.

Choosing the right branch.

Each child making the choice for where to place it.

Carefully placing them high

and low.

Each child remembering Christmases past

and dreaming of Christmases to come.

But most importantly remembering the true meaning and magic of that first Christmas.

What a blessing Christ is in our lives!

Trucker"s Life

My Dad's self published book of poetry. The book jacket reads: 'Trucker's Life, by poet Daren Flynn, is a breath of fresh air and authentic Americana. In a straightforward style, the poet sings the "Eighteen Wheel Truck Driving Blues" and the "Been Gone Too Long Trucker's Blues." He notes with irony that in a life characterized by mobility, the trucker misses the first step his baby takes. Out on the supply lines that link the country together, the trucker can hardly connect the pieces of his home life because he is "Never Home." In the poem titled "Trucking Is Tough," The poet tells with folk song resonance the hard-luck story of a hard-working friend. Flynn's poems tell how the lure of the road can be counterbalanced by the attractions of home.' Below will be selections from the book. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, leave me a comment with your e-mail and I will get in touch. Or contact my dad directly at truckerslife@hotmail.com Enjoy!
