| Bryn Terfel, bass-baritone |
World renowned Bass-Baritone, Bryn Terfel, a Great Gift from Wales to the entire world, evokes an aura of utmost tenderness and affection as he sings to you of Love, Hope, Peace, a quiet kind of Joy and wholesome Contentment.
I could think of no finer way to begin a New Year than to listen to Bryn sing this famous lullaby in
his native Welsh.

ALL THROUGH the NIGHT
Sleep, my love, and peace attend thee,
All through the night,
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night.
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night.
While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night,
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night.
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
God is Love
Happy and Healthy New Year my Friend

ReplyDeleteSometimes we know when they arrive.
We watch them grow; we see them thrive
The blossoms they produce give joy.
Sometimes their private lives annoy.
We watch them mellow then mature.
For passing Time there is no cure.
We hate to see them start to fade,
Begin to dim, move towards the Shade.
As we grow old, we can look back,
Review their lives as ours grow slack.
We lose our grip, as they lose theirs,
Yet of us they’re caught unawares.
It doesn’t matter that the Affection
Moves from us in one direction.
What they have given us will last
After their own brief lives have passed.
For they gave meaning to our lives
Through losing husbands, changing wives,
Raising children, our careers
Without them might conclude in tears.
But at their best the Empathy
They evoked helped us to see
The Laughter they put on Display
Gave us Perspective, showed a way
To see less egotistically
To think far less derisively
To act with more Compassion
Our point of view refashion
To lighten Burdens, keep on smiling,
Know Good Humor is beguiling.
The worst things have a funny side
Knowing that, the sunny side
Of life is reached more easily
When we behave less sleazily,
Shun the lazy, cheap and foolish,
Wasteful, hateful, weird, and ghoulish.
We owe these Special People much
They’ve taught, enriched, filled Gaps. They touch
Our Hearts long after they have passed.
What they gsve us we know will last.
Performance Art transcends the faults
Performers lives have as they waltz
Above to Music of the Spheres
Where Uplift cheers, and then endears.
And so though Stars, like us, may fade
Flicker, dim, move toward the Shade
Their Light will last with Certitude
If we love Them with Gratitude.

ReplyDeleteBravo! Brilliant performance! Thank you for this new year's boost to the morale.
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed how the Democrats went from hoping Americans would die in Baghdad .to criticizing Trump for killing those responsible for the embassy attack?
ReplyDeleteI guess that Killing a PIG who was Responsible for the deaths of 600-to 700 American Troops wasn’t a good thing to the Democrats!
Think about that all you Vets, and Parents of American Servicemen!
Why do American hating Moon Bat Progressives always take the side of the Muslim terrorists?
ReplyDeleteThe SOB was responsible for the deaths of over 600 of OUR troops, and killed an American contractor and attacking our embassy and a strong American President took the Bastard out. And yet we have these Bleeding Heart Progressives like RN angry at OUR President? What's wrong with this picture?
The DemonRatd hate Donald Trump [for the unpardonable sin of defeating Hillary Clinton!] far more tan they love the Unite states of America.
DeleteIt's jus as simple –– and as INSANE a that
