Sharing your spirit

As your meet another birthday
We celebrate you ~ with a glass of wine
We raise a toast to an exceptional woman
Who lives her life in style
You do what you do with passion
Enjoying the richness of what life holds
Allowing your dreams to inspire you
Sharing your spirit, your heart and soul

As you meet another birthday

As you meet another birthday
We raise a toast on your special day
In honor of an exceptional woman
Who paints her life in a unique way
Living life to the fullest
Where life’s adventure beckons your name
You celebrate life with such passion
As your reach higher from where you came
Embrace each and every moment
For life is yours to define
Discover the world of your tomorrows
Always reach for the stars and shine

Every step I took ~ a silent prayer,
For those who suffer this cruel disease
Every dollar raised ~ a tear drop
For survivors;  for those deceased
Together we can make a difference
Your support gave me the strength to endure
Teaching me there’s no 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

The quality of life's moments

The quality of your life’s journey
Lies within your heart and soul
How you balance and shape your life
~ to complete and make you whole
As you value every moment
Embrace the wealth of yesterday
Define the hope of every tomorrow
To color life ~ in your own special way

Butterfly seduce

Her silken wings flutter
As she folds her satin feathers
Perching ~ shifting slightly,
As she settles upon the petal
In perfect rhythmic dance
 Her wings whisper to the light
A ballet of pure beauty
Echoes her path of flight
Each blend of soft tawny orange
Shimmers against the sky
Each delicate arrangement
So perfectly designed
Veiled in richness
Her beauty motions the nectars juice
As she tips her body slightly
~ the butterfly’s seduce

Silken petals of a rose

She unwraps her silken petals
Revealing layers of velvet gold
She opens the colors of morning
Discarding leaves
discolored and old
She displays her perfection
Glistening in her satin bed
Her softness ~ like a pillow
As fallen tears slowly melt
Unfolding inner beauty
With such a sweet bouquet
She blossoms in the world
around her
Exposing life
in a beautiful way
Her petals dance
in the color of the breeze
Her head tilted slightly ~
to sway, and bend with ease
Her splendor opens up
to the humming bumblebee
Gracefully, hovering,
transparent wings set free
Feeding on the blossom
~ of this colorful floral dance
Such exquisite beauty,
Gods’ miracles ~ enhanced

As a flower

I watch the petal dance in the color of the breeze
Her head slightly tilted ~ swaying with ease
Her leaves swirl, and curl in calming motion
Such beauty reflected against the spanning ocean
Gracefully she bends in a dance against the sky
Echoing in rhythm, as she whispers goodbye
Transparent in her wisdom ~ God’s sculptures so pure
Each miracle embracing in a promise to lure
And like the blossoms that flourish in each beautiful bouquet
So your memory awakens me each gorgeous day
Every flower that blossoms is a memory of you
Each delicate rose dipped in your favorite hue
Your memory lives on in the heart of its’ fragrance
Each petal so sculptured ~ eternal and sacred
I love & miss you Mum
