the Poetry of Life – #015

Seeing your smiling face
Puts my heart in a special space.
Watching you play in your little place
Fills me with joy, makes my heart race.
Even when you – oops – and broke my vase,
It was an accident I could erase.
With eyes wide you made a solid case
For me to forgive without a trace.
Our love will always be a strong base,
Even though you live at a very fast pace!

Tt is one of my very special boys.
His arms and his legs are made out of toys!
He plays and he plays,
Staying inside all his days,
To see which toys he most enjoys!

“Mom, I need to buy this shirt!”, said she.
I thought a minute – is it really a need?
Will she wear it out more times than three?
It was on sale, though hardly for free…
But in the end, I said, “Sure, sweet”.
The shirt, you see, will also fit me

the Poetry of Life – #012

I find some quiet
Peaceful rest
And sit to talk
With You at last.
You were beside me
Throughout my day,
But I was too busy
To stop and pray.
I failed to make
A way for You
To be the center
Of all I would do.
And so now I sit
In silent sorrow,
And pray it’ll be
Different tomorrow.

My boy he always giggles
And when he does he always squiggles
And when I tickle him he wiggles
And then it gives his legs the jiggles
And his whole body twists and wriggles.
It always starts with just his giggles!

the Poetry of Life – #010

I need to sleep,
It’s getting late.
Just one more line -
My brain can’t wait
Until tomorrow
Or I might forget.
If I stop now,
It’ll be gone, I bet
These thoughts that
Run inside my head
Every time I’m meant
To be in my bed.
