Kindness

Does your heart try
to please every soul
turn frowns upside down
dry tears and console

Do your eyes see the good
in everything around
in every person you pass
on the streets in your town

If the answer is yes
then you’re quite the friend
you have an abundance of love
to share again and again

Yet, you’re also at risk
to having your heart broken
because not all will agree
with your words spoken

So you do your best
for the common good
and hope all your loving actions
are truly understood

I said, “I do”
You said, “I will”
after all these years
here we are still

following the sunrise
watching where it leads
always hand in hand
there’s nothing more we need

You’re standing so near

using up my air supply

No feather kisses –

tingling touches on my skin

I need a moment to breathe

You’re
the colors
in my rainbow

Cleansing
in my rain

Warmth
in my winter

Healing
for my pain

You’re
everything around

everything beside

everything within

the world I reside

Carried Away

Buried deep within my soul

we fly among the stars

on a magic carpet

where the universe is ours

we touch the constellations

blow kisses to the moon

and when our ride descends

we whisper, “I love you.”

In Loving Memory of Mom for Mother’s Day ♥

On May 11, 2013May 11, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Dedications, Parenting22 Comments

I’m reblogging this from last year in memory of Mom for Mother’s Day. “We’ll miss you, Mom, but you live in our hearts everyday.” ♥

Baydreamer Writes ~ Lauren Scott, Author & Poet

When I think of Mom, I think pink
Cherry blossoms in the spring
I think elegance and grace
and I envision her beautiful face
Her smile would warm others for miles
When I think of Mom
I’m saddened to know
I can’t call her and hear her “hello”
but I can see her
clearly as the garden from my window
and each day she graces my memories
while my love for her grows

Mom ~ June 1921 – February 2012

To Our Son on his 18th Birthday! ♥

On May 9, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Birthdays, Dedications, Family, PreTeens/Teens27 Comments

Those years when you relied on us
to hold, feed and guide you
return in sweet memories of
you smiling with your baby blues

To watch you grow as time passes swiftly
is surreal and miraculous
and to witness the young man you’ve become
is simply beyond marvelous!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, M.T.!

WE LOVE YOU!

There’s no point to this poem
just something to do at home
passing a little time
with a few silly rhymes
you know how it goes
everyone knows
putting pen to the paper
cleaning house to the later
adding laughter and smiles
good for many miles
chatting about that
sharing coffee with Matt
acting like a chef
cooking with Steph
always busy, not idle
running errands with Michael
I have to be true
there’s so much to do
it’s been delightful
not frightful
simply entertaining
while ascertaining
though nothing is wrong
it’s time
to say
so long!
