Day Thirty Eight - Oh the Things I have seen!

 Oh the things I have seen over these thirty seven years......some have brought happiness some have brought tears, some foster warmth in my heart, some make fears start.  Oh the things I have seen from in my car and from afar.  In Northern Ontario was the momma bear and her cubs watching the highway from up on a rock.  There heads went side to side as they watched each passing ride.  From the mountains of BC, I watched the goat jumps from ledge to ledge, up to the mountain top they went with a hop, hop,hop.  Watching our aboriginal friends pow wow and grand cook out, cooking on an open fire, salmon in maple syrup and cornbread in a pan, one with earth spirit and the land.  Oh the things I have seen from the native beautiful art to the God's beautiful morning start.  I have seen the whales in the seas, beautiful birds in the trees.  I have watched the glorious blue sky with cloud that look like marshmallow fluff then a gust of wind turns them into other stuff.  Oh the things I have seen.....homeless children on the street in Philly ...thin little jacket on a night that was so chilly.  Teenage addicts, struggling for their daily needs, 9/11 victims with extreme bleeds.  Space shuttles that have exploded, children carrying guns that were loaded.  Hijacked planes, bombers that were insane.  Las Vegas, the casinos & lights.....many many loney nights.  Oh the things I have seen.....my children's new born faces, new friends from many different races.  Foods from coast to coast, lobster, crab, moose and roast.  Maple syrup from Quebec, spuds from PEI, berries from Saskatoon, Nunavut's complete darkness at noon.  The milky way, a perfect sunny day, redwood trees big enough to drive through, Niagara Falls in the shape of a horseshoe.  Hail a big as golf balls..........weddings in the most beautiful of halls.  Starry nights, stupid bar fights, pretty fireworks....obnxious jerks.  Vandictive disturbed ex wives, try so hard to ruin lives, have no success just help solidify closeness!  Divorce, and children hurt.....unnecessary pain, horrid lies but the thing that will always remain....the love.  Oh the things I have seen....God's gracious love, heaven sent streaming from above!  The smile on the childs face that was pulled from a fire, the unemployed person who lost hope that they would ever be hired.  The woman that finds the right one, a mother that has found her lost son, the joy from the military soldier that has returned from afar, the family that walks away from a totalled car!  Oh the thing that I have seen.....surgeries that help weight lose and give a second chance, new medications that let the young lady live to have a romance.  I would not be me if I had not seen all of these different things, so now my heart sings as I say many thanks to all that wished me Happy Birthday Day!  Now there is one more strange strange thing that I have seen....on top of a car in working order it sat,  with TP,magazines and a chair, the sign read "Women's Washroom".....can you imagine that....bare all and stare was what I could think...oh God where is the sink!  To my dear friends....what the heck...I think you all might be redneck!
