give seriousness
the break it truly deserves
dare to be silly

Photo: My daughter, 4 years ago,
who dares to be silly,
no matter what.
Part of her everyday
make-up is her smile! ♥
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
♥ ♥ ♥
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!
♥

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!

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

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!
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)
