Stefanie's

This isn't my week to have a submission for challenge 42, however I wanted to say that no matter how busy our lives are we need to ALWAYS take time to appreciate beauty in our everyday busy-ness.
My niece took this photo of a pelican flying in front of Table Mountain, I may be biased here but as a Capetonian this is beautiful to me. Then this is a LO I did for Kim's challenge, we had to use 5 patternend papers and the title "amaze".
After a chat with her and being prompted and inspired I actually did it.
My son is 12 and he wrote this poem for English this year.

The wish of a tree.

The tree once a seed
is now so tall,
it’s wish to become famous
and known to all.

But when struck down
in around 30BC.
The once great wish
left the mind of the tree.

It was sawed quite smoothly
and sanded quite rough
to become 2 planks,
A boat and a trough.

The animal trough
was sent very far away,
until the Messiah
was laid in it one day.

The boat was sent to Galilee.
From which Jesus
calmed the storm
and the sea.

The two planks were cut
and together were nailed
to hold the king of Kings
whose hands and feet were impaled.

So the once tall tree’s
wish has now come true.
You can read it in the Bible

and in this poem too.
