My Mother

As the days go swiftly by, your mind is slipping away
Your thoughts are not quite the same
With each passing day, I still call
To hear your voice and lend a listening ear
Each day gets harder and harder
For you are not who I remember
Holding on to who you were before
will be etched in my heart and soul
For that is all that I have

Because of You

Because of You
The world is full of rainbows
Glowing in the sky
Because of You
The stars twinkle in the night
Because of You
There is beauty that surrounds the world
Because of You
There is love.

My Cats

I had a cat named Mookie,when she was so small
She fit snuggly in the palm of my hand
She greeted me each and every day at the door
She would roll on her back and give a gentle meow.
My dear sweet cat, sat on my head to rest at night.
Sadly, she was put to rest.
Then there was the big black one, Panther
He loved the smell of tuna and always came a running
He loved the sound of plastic
An open door was his joy
I always ran to get him and brought him back inside
His fiestiness got too much
To bear,so sadly he was released.
Now there is sweet Kitty
She loves to be petted, and moves around for more
Ever so gentle with her little paw, she taps you on the
Arm to say,I want some more.
Her fur is soft and fluffy
She is such a sweetie.
I am so glad I know have
Miss Kitty.

Beautiful Blue Eyes

Looking at those beautiful blues
Sparkling ever so bright
A smile on the face
Adds to the glow
No words need to be said
Those beautiful blues
And joyful smile
Say it all.

Lesson Learned

It was a golden opportunity
But it slipped right
Through the hands
Not acting quick enough
While others took the plunge
Someone else got to experience
That golden place
That is so dear.
There will be a next time
To walk the halls of glory
Acting quickly is the
Thing to do
So, it will be done.
Lesson Learned!

That Time of Year

It is that time of year
That I do get one ring
And then it stops
It seems to happen
At this time of year
My intuition knows
Who is is
So, I do call out your name.
I have learned that a time
Will come, when a conversation
We will surely have
I will until then, I know you know
I am here waiting with an
Open Heart and Love.

Forever Young

Walking along the ocean shore
With a bag in hand
Remembering days of yore
Rediscovering the treasures
Upon the sand
My emotions still remain the same
Feelings of joy and beauty
As certain ones catch my eye
Always wanting that special one
Behold! That special one comes to view
A conch shell is upon the shore
The joy of years gone by brings
A smile to my face, For I have
Found what I have been
looking for!

The Keepsake

After all these years
It is still beautiful to the eye
The stillness, the beauty and the
Peaceful surroundings will
Always capture my soul.
As I hear the roar of the ocean
morning, noon, and night.
Breathe taking views as I look
At every corner of your home
But, you must know, we will keep
It safe and sound until it
Is now longer ours!
