Father - Daughter Poetry Night // Group event

The Father - Daughter poetry night is an annual event that a family from our church started a while back, just a fun time, where you can bring your favorite poem to share, or one you've written!
 And while formal attire is required, the atmosphere is anything but stuffy and boring. Some poems are sweet, some just plain goofy, and some the kind that make you think.

This is the third year my dad, sister, and I have attended, but this is the first time I've taken the pictures. It was also the first time using my new flash, which I can direct the angle up or down, and I was quite pleased with the results!

Hope you enjoy these!

~ And all the attendees ~

The formal pictures out of the way, the poetry began!

Heehee, I was reading a very expressive poem.  ;)

The poetry part then being finished, as tradition dictates, we played a couple rounds of  Four On a Couch. (The red cups being used to differentiate between the two teams... ;)) {Photo creds to my sister}

Hehe, this one is just for grins and giggles...partly because of the girl flying past in the bottom right corner, and partly cause it looks like the girl in the middle just got picked to be  "The Chosen One". ;D Candid shots are fun.. ^-^

Re-member // Summer Evenings

Remember; the Song the Robins sing as they perch upon the rooftops in the evening Sunlight . . .

In the same Sunlight that turns the trees two shades of green.

Remember; the Sparrows on the housetop, whisking in and out of sight . . . 

 and; that Rambunctious Rabbit, that doesn't want to be seen.  ;)

Remember; the Footprints, following you silently up the stairs, up the driveway . . . 

and; the Golden Light, shimmering, glimmering through the leaves.

Remember; the Roses, that ripen to pink in the cool night air, when the bees have quit their play. . . 

and; the Clouds that imitate cotton balls and waves, and the soaring Balloons. (For which some small child probably grieves)

Remember; the Shades of a Sunset between two Blocks of Black . . . 

and; Finding all the Colors of the Rainbow.

Remember; the Halo around the streetlight, through Branches winking back . . . 

and; the Reflection of the street light in the Puddle below.

You might not have robins, roses or rainbows where you are,

perhaps, hide and seek, horses, or stargazing on a car.

Whatever memories God sends your way,

Capture them, before they slip away.

Most of all, remember Him:

Exodus 3:15

God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be Remembered throughout all generations.

Psalms 22:27

All the ends of the earth shall Remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you.

God Bless!
