No need for words tonight,

Sweetheart,

actions speak louder

Lead with your kisses and

let me be your flower

our vision offers

aid as we move to and fro

do we truly see?

Laugh Lines – Haiku

as the mirror meets

her gaze, she sees them, clearly –

wisdom or old age?

(Of course, “she” is used in general terms,
as this can be for men, too.
Just some simple thoughts on aging,
our reactions and what we’ll do about it,
if anything.
Me? I won’t do anything; no desire,
but I will pray (really hard) to age gracefully.

“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!
