Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
We have a special poem today remembering our friend and the originator of Thoroughly Poetic Thursday, now angel Sammy.
We had this colorful photo of hot air balloons as our inspiration.
Remembering Angel Sammy
Do you remember angel Sammy’s Balloon
Adventure when he visited his friends?
He came to see us in Roanoke
And flew over the famous Mill Mountain Star.
We hung a sign on the star welcoming
The King of Baconia to our city.
We even had bacon cookies waiting.
Sammy visited many pals on his trip.
As Sammy went to the Bridge that day,
It was both a special and sad journey.
Mau lost his best friend, but Fiona
Had Sammy as her traveling companion.
They received their wings together and
Now look down on the balloons and us all.
We miss our sister and our dear friend
And wish they could fly down for a visit.

Thankful Thursday
We also participate in Brian’s Thankful Thursday blog hop each week. We all think it is very important to be grateful. You may think my thankfulness is a bit silly this week, but I can’t help myself. I found out when visiting Four-Legged Furballs yesterday that today is Winnie the Pooh Day, and I adore Pooh. So, I am grateful today that A.A. Milne created Pooh and all his friends, especially Tigger. In fact, I like Pooh and Tigger so much, I have them both tattooed on my back. As today is Pooh’s special day, I am sharing a photo of that tattoo.
I’ve had this tattoo for about 20 years, so Pooh isn’t as vibrant as he once was, and it’s not a great photo, but I still wanted to share.
If you’d like to share on your blog for what you are thankful and join Brian’s hop, click on his badge.

What a truly beautiful poem in honor of Angel Sammy, as well as your sweet Angel Fiona. Goodbyes are sad, but it is comforting knowing that such purrfect angels are watching over us.
And, thank you for sharing your Winnie the Pooh body art with us! I have always been a fan of Winnie the Pooh, and of course my buddy Eeyore.
Whoa, cool tat!
That’s a great poem, we so remember that balloon day. The tatoo is really cool! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
That’s a great poem and a cool tattoo.

Sweet poem, great tattoo. I too love Winnie the pooh and Higher and friends, daughters nursery was classic pooh. Have several Christmas items that are Winnie the pooh and friends!!
That is a great poem for Sammy. I like your Pooh tattoo too!
Oh Kitties…..what a sweet poem about my brother Sammy. I wasn’t yet a member of the family but I feel like I knew him – he’s been my Angel Mentor and will always be my guide. The trip in the hot air balloon was amazing for him and it was an amazing day of visiting his friends and feeling the love one last time before he went to the Bridge. Thanks for honoring him with your poem – hot air balloons will always have a special place in our hearts here. We also love your Mom’s tattoo – Winnie the Pooh is a most special bear and my Mom has loved him FOREVER. Of course Tigger too! Happy Thursday and thank you for joining in Sammy’s poetry day…….we love you.
Hugs, Teddy
What a lovely poem for Sammy!
