The Nose
Four children, three boys.
All the boys have been curly-headed little blondies with long lashes and bright blue eyes.
If you look at their baby pictures, it’s hard to tell them apart.
Except for this nose. Julius Arthur has this different nose.
Moody
“You’re not really moody,” my mother said.
Really?
My mother thinks that I am not moody.
Some mornings I hesitate to even get out of bed. I pull the covers up to my neck and close my eyes, thinking about anything but real life.
But my mother thinks I am laid back.
I guess I am doing a good job at hiding it.
Ending Ends
The Last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Do not mourn, fair daughter, for days gone by,
Though the moment we’re born, we begin to die.
Like a thief in the night, eternity descends,
Making good the bad and ending ends.
This death you fear will be no more,
With each moment better than the one before.
All are drinking ever in, and ever pouring out.
Every love is given freely. Every joyful shout,
Is as joyfully answered. All are joyfully loved,
By that great blessed Lover who dwells above.
Every fear will be banished, every foe cast away,
And the darkness of night will be changed into day.

I am putting together a kit for those who would like to try to make this themselves without the hassle of buying all the ingredients seperately – if you’d like to be put on the waiting list for the kit, fill out the form on my product page. The first run will be a short run and most likely limited to those on the waiting list. Or join my email list to the right – you’ll receive my FREE e-book in December and I’ll be sure to let you know when new products are launched.
