across a backdrop

one star-studded evening

a love note lingers

Lets add a little romance
to the agenda for today.
This is an oldie from last year
and I hope you enjoy again.
I need to come up with new material. 🙂

“Good-bye” won’t roll off

the tip of my tongue, only

“see you later, Dad”

Thanks for all you’ve done for us

and know how much we love you!

To Dad: A Father’s Day Tribute ♥

From Air Force days
to a forever blind date
Six decades of sharing love
to his lovely soul mate

He misses her now
but has managed along
with support of three daughters
He’s where he belongs

His memory entertains
from WWII days
amazing those who listen
Is 93 his true age?

He’s able to witness
a senior graduation
He’s so proud of our son
His face wears true elation

Then one incident
shakes up our world
The worst of thoughts
in my mind unfurl

But with God’s blessing
and His ideal timing
this story ends happily
Our sun remains shining

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD and GRANDPA! WE LOVE YOU!
WE HAD A SCARE, BUT WE’RE SO THANKFUL YOU’RE OKAY
AND YOU WERE ABLE TO JOIN US IN CELEBRATING
YOUR GRANDSON’S GRADUATION.

I ALSO SEND LOVING WISHES TO MY HUBBY,
MY FATHER-IN-LAW AND ALL FATHER’S
WHO HAVE LAID A SOLID FOUNDATION
FOR THEIR FAMILIES!

♥ ♥ ♥

Synchronized Dreams

On June 11, 2013May 12, 2015 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry16 Comments

As I lay my head down
I think of your skin
the way it feels
when our loving begins

I think of your shudder
when my journey’s in motion
and your touch, so soothing
like the tune of the ocean

We ride the waves
though real it seems
we’ll await the moment
not just in our dreams

Monday’s Memo :) (re-post)

On June 10, 2013June 11, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry4 Comments

Dear, Dear Weekend

Where have you gone

Your visit ended suddenly

I feel so forlorn

but I’ll make it through

the next five days

with smiles and laughter

Confidence and praise

I’ll miss you terribly

though, I’m grateful for this day

and it’s new opportunities

more input for my brain

So until we meet again

I bid you farewell

Stay happy and cheerful

Take care of yourself!

Many of you have seen the original post from last year,
http://lscotthoughts.com/2012/04/23/memo-to-monday/
but it felt right for posting today, again!
Hope you enjoyed a second time, too,
and have a great Monday! ♥
