The first without her

Today ~ the first birthday without her
Will cloud and sadden you so
The memories will drench you deeper
And your heart ~ an empty hollow
Try to soak your mind in the good memories
Celebrate her day ~ with a rose in her honor
For she is smiling down on you from heaven
Painting the sky in her beautiful colors

The love of a child

The love for my children ~ beyond compare
Unparalleled ~ so profound
The purest blessing that’s above all else
Immeasurable ~ beautifully sound
Life’s beauty is reflected through the eyes of a child
Wrapped in their hands ~ we forever hold
I’m so blessed with two beautiful boys
They are the life of my soul
Infused with feelings and emotions

Where love lives ~ transparently
Dwelling deep inside our souls
The essence of their love in me

Mariah's 1st birthday

One year ago today, Mariah
God blessed us with beautiful you
You melted into every one of our hearts
The center of my world ~ so true
From the first time you opened your big brown eyes
To the first smile that captured my heart
I felt the glow of your innocence
The beauty of all that you are
You are a perfect little lady
With a spirit of beauty like no other
You touch my soul with your love sweetheart
And I am so proud to be your Nana

The infinite song of love

Somewhere
between the moments
of now
and tomorrow’s promise
lies
the infinite song
~ a divine smile
that blossoms
and nourishes
into
unspoken words
of love
in its
purest form

Poetry inside my soul

Poetry lives within my soul
Inside the heart of my words
It dwells inside my visions
Where lyrics and lines rehearse
Inside my head ~ I feel the sounds
Revealing truth so duly spoken
The language of a crystal word
In every angle of light ~ unbroken
Transformed, transposed to write my thoughts
Choosing words to display imagery
Portraying through art, my painting
Water colored oils of discovery
The canvas speaks to reveal my words
Wrapped; massaged and molded
Spelling the truth of my journey
Fluid feelings exposed, unfolded

Embrace your moments

Embrace your birthday moments
Dance in the warmth of your smile
Fill your tomorrows with purpose
Celebrate your life in style

more yesterdays

When there are more yesterdays than tomorrows
We hold the wealth of memories ~ preserved
Each birthday a clear reminder
To trust in what our hearts deserves
For yesterday’s moments of life
Create the memories for tomorrow’s dreams
And the value of each days blessing
Is in the essence of all that life means
