Blue Eyes

I had to re-post for my son, too,
from 10.17.11~

I watch you
as you play
a simple toy
a swing or slide
a shovel in the sand
all big adventures
I take your hand
as we walk
a subtle breeze
blows your
light brown hair
not a summer day
but a warm day
in winter
Your smile is brighter
than sunshine
My days are bright
with Blue Eyes

This was written when my son was just a little guy.
The photo was scanned, so it’s not the best
and  his blue eyes aren’t noticeable,
but he has them like his daddy!
(He’s 6’1″ and almost 17 now)

Tiny Hands

Thinking of Mother’s Day early,
I’m re-posting this from 11.12.11~

I am little, not tall at all
I can do more than crawl
I’m eager to touch all I see
I can almost pat your knee
I give you a hug and a kiss
I see you’re in pure bliss
I give you a warm smile
I can tell it’s worthwhile
I giggle (music to your ears)
I see you laugh and I see tears
I like when you call me “small fry”
I know I’m loved even when I cry
I’m irresistible to your heart
I’m like a tiny work of art
I make you melt when in your arms
I hold your love with all my charms
I’m cuddly like a teddy bear
I know nothing can compare
I know you love each other
I know your love made me
I’m just thankful we’re together
I’m happy you’re my family


This photo is of my daughter, taken 18 years ago~

I couldn’t help sharing this beautiful spring haiku from one of the best poets I’ve met on WP. Scott has a romantic heart and a gentle spirit and I’m honored to “know” him! 🙂

Monday’s Memo :)

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!

Here’s wishing you all a wonderful start to your week!

One and Only

Her heart sings when he says her name
The tiniest things ignite their flame
A simple gesture he does is grand
The simplicity of taking her hand
He makes her smile when he holds the door
Old fashioned and thoughtful, which she adores
Her breath catches when he holds her close
Sensations slide to the tips of her toes
When she wakes in the morn and hears him breathe
It’s that very moment she truly believes

A Promise Everlasting

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Romantic50 Comments

In your eyes
I’m swept away
Melodies played
as the trees swayed
Clouds parted
to light our way
and I realize
my skies
will never again turn gray

Then you stand near me
your arms open wide
You let me in your heart
and the Heavens sighed
You made me a part of
your everyday life
as your lover, your friend,
Your beloved wife

Easter Blessings

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Holidays40 Comments

“May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand”
(Irish Blessing)

Here are some cute Easter quotes; I hope you enjoy!

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.
Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.
Some body parts should be floppy.
Keep your paws off of other people’s jelly beans.
Good things come in small, sugar coated packages.
The grass is always greener in someone else’s basket.
To show your true colors, you have to come out of the shell.
The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.
My Father is visiting for a few days,
which is wonderful for all of us,
however, blogging will have to take a back seat.
I’ll do my best to catch up when I return,
but until then,
May the joy of the season fill your heart.
AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU! 
Happy Easter!
