crisp mornings join late
summer afternoons to greet
autumn’s warm prelude

I.
Schedules and deadlines
follow me unfailingly
where are you, hammock?
II.
trees dance in the breeze
to wind’s melody, a glance
from the glaring screen
III.
grateful not to be
en route to unemployment
eager for Monday

In honor of Friday,
but very happy that we’re both employed.
Have a wonderful weekend, Everyone!
A wonderful reminder so profoundly written~
A p r o n h e a d -- Lilly Green
Are you skimming my life as you would a book—
a book that is an obligation,
not a chosen read?
Are my anecdotes only conversation starters for your stories—
priming for your ego pump gone dry?
Or are you listening?
Truly?
Are my tears and tales only inspiration for your personal production,
played out complete with swelling music and desperate soliloquies?
Am I illusory, fodder for your dreams,
but empty of transcendent worth,
part of a script where you are the only star?
Are you listening?
Honestly?
I am your friend, your neighbor, your brushed by acquaintance.
I am your mother, your daughter, your doctor, your teacher.
I am your pastor, your co-worker, your husband, your stranger.
And I have stories to tell and a lived life to share,
but it feels like I am redundant, unnecessary to your narcissistic screenplay.
I need to be heard.
Are you listening to…

You were a bundle of baby powder
so sweet smelling and cuddly
with rosy lips curved
into the perfect infant smile
that was only the beginning
of our hearts melting
Your beauty became more apparent,
not only on the outside, but on the inside, too
Your heart grew big enough
to share love around the world
You were an adorable little girl
Then within days,
You became a gorgeous young lady
ready to take on the world
You are the moon at it’s fullest,
pouring light over us
on the darkest night
and a country melody
just right for line dancing
You are the brightest sunflower
adding color to the garden of life
or the white stallion
prepared for any challenge that greets you
You are a dolphin,
gliding gently through life with grace
or shimmering sterling silver
Your soul never to tarnish
Our daughter, our creation from love
Now Twenty-one
“You’ve got the world by the tail,”
Your Grandpa used to say
So move forward with passion
and make your own way
Our love for you is larger than life,
Mom and Dad

Hi Everyone,
This is a simple “hello” to wish you
a wonderful weekend and to let you know
that I’ve been sick the last few days,
so once again, I’ve lost momentum with blogging…arrrgh!
Additionally, this weekend, we have family from out of town visiting,
so I won’t return to blogging until next week.
Be happy and healthy and I’ll see you soon!
Lauren (((Hugs)))
