Vintage Christmas Post Card # 13 Christmas Verse

Christmas is creeping up on us. Time to spend time with our love ones and think of our family far away or who have past on. Many Christmas's have past for me. 61 one to be exact. Lots of wonderful memories and some not so great.

Times are good today. Money is tight, but we have our health ( cancer free 5 years ) ( sober 2 years 10 months and 20 days thank you Jesus) Hubby is well, children are doing pretty good. As in many cases money is tight for them too, but we have it so much better than a lot of folks around us. We are warm, have a place to sleep and food to feed our bellies. I want to take this time to be thankful for all I have and to pray for those still suffering with no place to sleep, hungry, out of work and what ever disease they are suffering from.

I want to thank all of you who visit me at my different blogs. You may not comment often but I do sense you there and hope that I give you some joy or a just a smile.

God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas and lets pray for peace and a prosperous year for all of us.

Today's vintage post card is a Christmas Verse .

Here's a Christmas Message packed with cordial good cheer

To friends, one and all, far and near, Of Peace on earth, good will I send

A loving message to you , dear friend

PFF The Beauty of Mount Holy Cross Colorado

What a beautiful vintage post card this one is. And perfect for the start of the Christmas season.

It is titled " Out Where The West Begins " This is a poem famous around the world as defining the spirit of the west more effectively than anything yet written. It was written by Arthur Chapman, then a report on a Denver newspaper on the occasion of a dispute as the the real boundary of the West. The poem and Mount Holy Cross are two symbols of the marvelous west that are familiar to all.
Mount Holy Cross is in Colorado.

Out Where the West Begins

Out where the handclasp's a little stronger,

Out where the smile dwells a little longer,

That 's where the West begins;

Out where the sun is a little brighter

Where the snows that fall are a trifle whiter,

Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter

Out where the skies are a trifle bluer,

Out where friendship's a little truer,

That's where the West begins,

Out where a fresher breeze is blowing ,

Where there's laughter in ever streamlet flowing,

Where there's more of reaping and less of sowing.

That's where the West begins.

Out where the world is in the making

Where fewer hearts with despair are aching.

That's where the West begins;

Where there's more of singing and less of sighing.

Where there's more of giving and less of buying.

And a man makes friends with half trying.

That's where the West begins.

Arthur Chapman
