The beauty inside

The beauty from inside your soul
Releases its energy in me
Infused by feelings and emotions
Where love lives ~ transparently
Dwelling deep inside our souls
Where the essence of love survives
You drench me ~ you immerse in me
Where rhythmic vibrations thrive
Far beyond the realms of time
Deeper than the universe
You touch me ~ You infect me
You are where my hearts' preserved

Avon Breast Cancer 2015

Every step I took ~ a silent prayer,
For those who suffer this cruel disease
Every dollar raised ~ a tear drop
In memory of survivors, and those deceased
Together, we can make a difference
Your support gave me the strength to endure
Teaching me that my pain is nothing in comparison
To those who suffer ~ oh so much more
Every step that I took ~ with purpose
To help prevent cancer attacking every 3 minutes
I proudly walked to make a difference
That’s why I am “in it, to end it”
I walked so that my beautiful granddaughter
Might never, never be
Part of a statistic or a measurement
Of those 3 minute facts of the disease
So my 39.3 miles meant so much more than just walking
It’s a statement ~ meaning “together we can overcome”
It means that blisters don’t need chemo
So we will walk on……and on ….and on
Thank you

Beautiful rays of sunshine

May the beautiful rays of sunshine

…radiate warmth inside of you

May the colors inside every rainbow

…fill your heart with its hue

May you be lifted by the glows of light

That shines through each glorious day

May your spirit be drenched  

With God’s love that is sent your way 

Get well soon 

Dear Grandma

While her softness snuggles in the warmth of your arms
And you rock her gently to sleep
You marvel at how perfect her skin is
And pray for her soul to keep
Your motherhood instincts will take control
As Grandma ~ your heart will beat so proudly
You will walk on cloud nine
And spread the word ~ so loudly
For she will be so much more perfect
Than any child yours
You will breathe every breath she breathes
As you want to hold her more
This perfect little angel from heaven
Will fill your heart with such emotion
Every lullaby you sing to her
Every fairy tale of love and devotion
For she is more precious that life itself
A miracle in the purest form
Wrapped in the hearts of so much love
The most beautiful angel - ever born

Becoming Grandma

Today ~ as you realize
How it feels to be Grandma
You’ll be wrapped inside emotions
That takes you beyond any other
Your feelings will overflow
Too vulnerable to express
Taken over by the deepest love
Right above happiness
Your perfect little angel
Will own your heart and soul
More precious than life itself
Like nothing on earth ~ you know
Nothing is more valuable
Than this tiny human being
The greatest gift from God
This absolute purest blessing

My Brother

We share a name, a bond that ties us
We share a story, a bloodline unites us
A relationship that kindles a brotherhood
A love that was nurtured ~ through childhood
Our relationship solid
~ you are more than a friend
You are my strength whenever I need you
On that ~ I can always depend
A gift I call my brother
~ you will always and forever be
The one I look to ~ for inspiring me

Rose Bud dance

The rose bud dances to the color of her dignity
Each alluring petal, blossoms in delicate purity
Gracefully she pirouettes in a swirl of calming motion
Exposing vulnerability, inside her sensitive emotion
Quietly, silently ~ she sings her lullaby
Encouraged by the wings of an elusive butterfly
A silhouette of splendor graces the setting of the sun
God’s gifts of nature ~ pure wonder; every one
The blossom of the rose ~ the butterfly seduce
God’s gifts of beauty ~ intense, so profuse
