A Note of Thanks

When as a kid of just past ten -
Or almost twelve – Yes, that was when!
I came across a poem so dear
It left me smiling ear to ear.
A tree – the cause of why I grinned,
That laughed amidst the summer wind

As decades passed, and years flew by-
“A blog!” I thought I’d give a try;
Hmmm – what to show for all to see?
I’ll post my favorite happy tree!
The little one that’s not a crier,
Penned by Ernestine Cobern Beyer.

“Hi!” a lady typed one day,
“That’s my mom!” she wrote to say.
So it was a rhyme of whimsy
That inspired this verse – (so flimsy!)
To Barbara, Kathie, Margo, Tim-
It’s for you all I’m thanking Him!

Now, THIS was

Springtime verse

from Ernestine Cobern Beyer-

with many thanks to her daughter,
Barbara Beyer Malley.

Easter Parade

Doff, my soul, your sober dress,
Heart, wear your fairest frills.
He must have loved all loveliness
Who dressed the daffodils!In My Garden

Pausing on my lawn, I glimpse a bird,
And in its singing, Lord, I hear Thy Word.
Nearby, I see a lilac bush in bloom,
And feel thy presence in its faint perfume.
And when I see thy smile, my spirit thrills –
Though what I look upon is daffodils.Spring

As in a small reflecting-glass
The sun’s rays fiercely focus,
So Spring is captured in the grass
By one important crocus.

Lesson in Spring

by Ernestine Cobern Beyer

Who places credence in the tomb
And bows too long in grief,
Must argue with the clover-bloom
And contradict the leaf.

Many thanks to

an old friend, who remembered
how much I loved this song…

It’s one of my all-time favorites,
that I learned to play on my recorder
almost thirty-five years ago…link

Back then, the music that this man
wrote played a major part in keeping
my teen years sane – as the hours and
years of practicing the music I loved
to listen to, gave me a sense of peace
like nothing I’d ever known.

Thank you, sir.

The Leprechaun

rhapsody — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 08:01:30 +0000

By Ernestine Cobern Beyer

I met a little leprechaun.
He gasped and quavered: “Ooo!
I’m seeing things! Be off! Be gone!
There’s no such thing as you!

“You can’t be real, you ugly thing,
So I’m not scared,” he said,
“Though you have neither tail nor wing,
Nor horns upon your head!”

I looked at him, then ran, my dear,
As would, I think, have you,
‘Cause people sometimes disappear
When leprechauns say: “Boo!”
