Hope for our futures
lies in their hearts and spirits
through bubble gum and
hopscotch, pig tails and scraped knees –
our job to love and nurture

Feeling your heartbeats
I hear soft whispers of love
My sweet miracles

Photos are from over 17 years ago
of my daughter and I, above, and my son and I, below..
I had to scan them, so they’re not the best quality.
Even so, I get teary-eyed reminiscing through the younger years.
I also get a good chuckle over
the hairstyles and clothes!

Father’s Day Haiku ♥
For your nurturing
and laying the foundation
We celebrate You!
Happy Father’s Day to
my Dad (we know Mom’s watching over you),
my Father-in-Law,
my Husband and the many
“fathers” in my family.
I love you all more than words can say~
and to all the Father’s around the globe,
may you all have a wonderful day!

Siblings
She played in a world of Barbies
He formed magical lands of Legos
They created art with crayons
and they both loved reading their books
A sister and brother
who got along quite well
They were friends to each other
It was easy to tell
Still buddies in their teens and twenties
through laughter and tears
They’re a team and always will be
into the coming years
Their alliance has sustained
through the growing, awkward ages
They defend, protect and encourage
through the turning of the pages
All the love that they share,
It’s plain to know,
will never be broken
Our Dynamic Duo

Hugs a Plenty
Someone needs a hug
if you look real close
wearing a smile upside down
in need of a big love dose
Revealing a long wide frown
it just might be you
to brighten their day
and bring their spirits around
They might be too shy
to ask you face to face
so it’s up to you
to offer with grace
Share some warmth
the cost is nil
but the gift is big
in a simple embrace

I’m not sure if the kitty was happy,
but I know my son was thrilled
(15 years ago)
and he was definitely sharing
a warm embrace~ 🙂
Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday!
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~

A Valentine’s Day to Remember
May we hold close those in our lives
Who touch our hearts
Our husbands, our wives,
Our girlfriends and boyfriends
Our daughters, our sons
and our very best friends
Our sisters and brothers
Our fathers and mothers
Even the furry companions
Who add joy to our days
To those who have passed
We give God praise
for the love they gave
To anyone unmentioned
in this Valentine greeting
We give thanks for your love
For your presence and hugs
Let the Valentine banner be unfurled
And if we could, we’d give them the world
© LScott 2012
I will be slowly responding to your wonderful,
supportive comments, and then I’ll get
back into the blogging routine…
I wish you all a loving Valentine’s Day♥
Lauren
