Within the Mind

Reaching high it seems so far away
moving too fast only slowing down to catch a breath
Thinking no time to waist
Time moves so swiftly
Trying hard not to sway
Keeping one foot in front or the other
Head lifted
I will get there

Its in the Air/Valentine

Roses, cards, candy
hugs, kisses, scents and oils
shall I smile
Its all so overwhelming
The feeling is sweet
The emotion is happiness
A day set aside to do a litte
more than the norm
Show love like no other day
Cherishing every moment
Lets keep this going
I love it

Fall

FALL



The trees sway so quietly dancing to the sound of the wind
Forcing the colorful leaves to blow everywhere
Painting the canvas with abstracts of reds, golds and bronze
On the bench shaking with a chill, the warmth of color drapes over me
A short day has darken, moments pass
Asleep I fall

Love

My Man

We’ve been together for 8 years through all the laughter and the tears

We’ve grown to love each other more and from one you became four

A family who truly honors love and this greatness comes from above

I thank God everyday for a young man who looked my way

I caught those eyes and claimed them mine and since that day I

often find that we really compliment each other my love for you is for no other

but the girls who are proud of you and happy to call you daddy too

This poem I wrote is from my heart, each word I wrote is from my soul

I wanted you to know I’ll always be here through all the laughter and the tears

I love you

Delicate Memory of My Daughter

My Beautiful Ballerina

I love to watch her move with grace.
Each twirl and whirl always tickles my
face. With the wind under her wings and

the sky above she glides and
sways like a free flying dove. Up and down
and all around, sometimes my emotions can
never be found. I cry, I laugh and even
sigh. If you saw her you'd understand why.
I'm so intrigued of the way she flows while
skipping and jumping and standing on her
toes. I can feel that she is pleased that
when she had the time to play she maturely
decided to stay and fulfill her dream with
the rest of the team and become a beautiful
ballerina.
