the fabric of each new day
through special people

A big hug and thank you to Linda,
lindawillows.wordpress.com,
for these lovely roses
of friendship~xx
I long to be your only star
within your sky of dreams
I ask you to open your heart
repair the broken seams
I apologize for words unsaid
for those said time and again
To hurt you is not my intention
I often wonder how you’ve been
I only wish to see you smile
hear you laugh among the trees
I only long to hold you close
feel your breath beside the breeze
Chances don’t come freely
I know this in my heart
My plea you’ll hear one more time
to keep us ne’er apart

Our story began as friends
sharing goals for our futures
talking, listening and laughing
like brothers and sisters
Our time spent together
is priceless beyond words
moments we’ve cherished
letting down our guards
Then a revelation came
after seeing him last night
I saw the way he looked at me
and my heart took flight
Without any fair warning
something changed deep inside
I saw him in every tomorrow
until the end of time
Never do I want
our friendship to sever
Never have I felt
so much pressure
My thoughts are confused
My body, perplexed
What shall I do?
What happens next?

Making everything perfect with her loving care
She’s an unselfish soul and always “there”
Under her wing is abundant warmth and comfort
She shelters with grace to avoid any hurt
Like a rose, her beauty shines forever
Unlike its lifespan, her love never withers
She exemplifies a rainbow, beauty of many colors
Bold for self confidence, pastel for helping others
She cares for people, before putting herself first
Her heart’s full of kindness, joyfully eager to burst
With a butterfly’s elegance, she floats from task to task
Her smile continues from early dawn to dusk
She’s a daughter, sister, lover and friend
A gentle spirit and shoulder unto the end
She’s an angel on earth; her spirit is divine
She’s a lovely blessing and truly one of a kind

This is in loving memory of my Mom,
who passed away in February, to
my Mother-in-Law, who has
been missed for 20 years now,
a tribute to my sisters,
as they are wonderful Moms,
and to all the beautiful, hard-working Mothers
in the world~
Wishing you all a very Happy Mother’s Day!
Lauren ♥
