RB'S QUOTE OF THE DAY: May 26, 2013: In Flander's Fields (by John McCrae, May 1915)

"In Flander's fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flander's fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flander's fields."

That could be true. 

I'm not that much of a meat eater, anyway."

RB'S QUOTE OF THE DAY: May 12, 2013: "Hello Operator, does Heaven have a phone number?"

"Hello Operator, does Heaven have a phone number?

Mommy went to Heaven, but I need her here today,

My tummy hurts and I fell down, I need her right away.

Operator can you tell me how to find her in this book, 

Is heaven in the yellow part, I don't know where to look.

I think my daddy needs her too, at night I hear him cry. 

I hear him call her name sometimes, but I really don't know why.

Maybe if I call her, she will hurry home to me. 

Is Heaven very far away, is it across the sea?

She's been gone a long, long time she needs to come home now! 

I really need to reach her, but I simply don't know how.

Help me find the number please, is it listed under "Heaven"? 

I can't read these big big words, I am only seven.

I'm sorry operator, I didn't mean to make you cry, 

Is your tummy hurting too, or is there something in your eye?

If I call my church maybe someone there will know 

Mommy said when we need help that's where we should go.

I found the number to my church tacked up upon the wall. 
Thank you operator, I'll give them a call."
