Work Trilogy Haiku

I.

Schedules and deadlines
follow me unfailingly
where are you, hammock?

II.

trees dance in the breeze
to wind’s melody, a glance
from the glaring screen

III.

grateful not to be
en route to unemployment
eager for Monday

In honor of Friday,
but very happy that we’re both employed.

Have a wonderful weekend, Everyone!

Happy 21st Birthday to My Daughter ♥♥♥

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

Hello Update :)

Hi Everyone,

This is a simple “hello” to wish you
a wonderful weekend and to let you know
that I’ve been sick the last few days,
so once again, I’ve lost momentum with blogging…arrrgh!
Additionally, this weekend, we have family from out of town visiting,
so I won’t return to blogging until next week.

Be happy and healthy and I’ll see you soon!

Lauren (((Hugs)))

Silent Knight – Haiku

Human hazardous

actions cause unthinkable

harm; strong will to live

Allow me to introduce to you Silent Knight…
a Sea Lion of strength and courage,
who endured 5 bullets to his head,
leaving him blind in both eyes.
Instead of giving up the fight,
he now happily thrives on life in the local zoo,
with the help of kind-hearted humans nursing him back to health.

This is only one heartwarming story of mammals struggling to live
after human’s thoughtless and heartless acts of violence.
All of the stories touched and tugged at our hearts~
