FALLING

Here I am
with open arms
I give my love to you

My adoration
and devotion
are from my heart
so true

Mesmerized by
your baby blues
this came as no surprise
with just one look
I was lost
inside your dreamy eyes

Seek no more
for a caring soul
who’ll love you
as I do

We’re meant to be
magically
I for you
and you for me

Sharing a little Gratitude and Thanksgiving Wishes :)

I’m thankful for
my parents, who brought me
into this world
They had two lovely daughters
Then another little girl
They’ve lived into their nineties
Seen new changes along the way
Each day, I think of them
Each day, for them, I pray

I’m thankful for
my husband, I’m the lucky one
for all he does for me
for how he shares his heart
and gives of himself so lovingly

I’m thankful for
my children, my daughter and my son
for who they’ve grown to be
for their love and compassion
they give so generously

I’m thankful for
all those unmentioned, they know who they are
and for my loving dog who passed
She’ll be our forever star…

for sight, so I may see
all of God’s creation
for sound,  so I may hear “I Love You”
with tremendous elation

and last, but not forgettable
for all of you
my friends in the blogging world
May your Thanksgiving be
absolutely wonderful!

Hugs and Blessings
Lauren

GOOD NIGHT, MY LOVE

They leisurely stroll

down the moonlit path

Their shoulders brush

as he takes her hand

Soft to the touch

Her eyes, beguiling,

She leans into him

and catches him smiling

 A serenading breeze

follows them for awhile

He’s enchanted by her presence

and her dazzling style

The path’s end draws closer

He pulls her to embrace

Her lips, breathtakingly near

He kisses her, cradling her face

NOTE TO SIS

Thank you
for the person you are
for the compassion you show
for the goodness in your heart
for the part you play in my life

 For all you’ve done
the listening, the helping, the caring

 Our phone calls
can’t compare
to the chance of sharing
a lunch or a coffee
together
Wouldn’t that be better?

No matter the distance
there is no resistance
when it comes to loving you

These words are simple
Yet, honest and true
Even through
the rhythm and rhyme
I cherish the
times I’m with you

 Throughout our lives
our families have grown
Who would’ve known
we’d be so blessed
I’m at a loss for words now
You know the rest

 What else can I
possibly say or do,
except,
a simple,
I Love You!

To my two wonderful sisters.

ROCKING THROUGH LIFE – Haiku

This cute little rocking chair
was made by my Mom’s Father in June 1926.
My Mom is still living and turned 90 this year!
She rocked in it and so did my sisters and I,
their children and my children.
This photo is of my son taken 13 years ago.
We still have the rocker and it brings back precious memories~

A special rocker

made from Grandpa’s hands with love

LUCKY FOR US

This Haiku follows my post
from November 9th.

Yesterday was our first day of coming home to an empty house.
It was tough…
it’s amazing how the routines are sorely missed…
in the morning, coming home from work and bedtime.
How she greeted us with her smile,
how she loved having her face scratched
and her belly rubbed…sigh~
We know it will get easier with time,
but for now…

didn’t know the end

was just around the corner

missing her so much
