Snips and snails And puppy-dogs’ tails. Asleep, compliant, Momentarily silent. Dreaming of nips? Or plates of chips, Plus yogurt drops, And paddle pops? Defined. Ironic, dude You love sweet food; Sugar and spice, And all that's nice. That grin, your grin, Happy in your skin. Lock in feeling hearty, Past this birthday party. Smile, sit, crawl, toddle. You; your own role model. We don’t want peace to last, “Why?” is never i...

For Betsy   We are strangers, but remarkably familiar. We are separated, but strangely connected. We are parallel lives, that once were as one. Finally reconnected after wasted years apart.     In all that time, nothing more than a photo. A beautiful young lady, her sweet smile shining through. Even as a young child, held close to my heart. Never forgotten but sadly never known.     Overjoyed our lives have finally crosse...

32 years ago today at exactly 5:16 pm God blessed me with a beautiful, healthy 6lb. 9oz, 19" long angel. I named my angel Katherine Elizabeth.She was called Katy from the beginning unless she was in trouble, (which wasn't often), then it was her full name. The look on her sweet face when she heard this was comical in the fact that she couldn't believe what she was hearing and would smile innocently and begin batting her e...

Munchen-Pasing. April 9th, 1933: A New Beginning     In the quiet Munich suburb of Pasing, a new day was dawning. As was usual, Maria Kaufmann was rising along with the sun.   She went to the window and, in the half-light, drew back the curtains and took a deep breath.   The light was slowly increasing, but the clear sky was still a deep blue.   She smiled as she surveyed the view from her window. It was going to be a bea...

A day for those closest to you to decorate, light candles,sing, feed you cakeand maybe if your lucky give you presents. But my wish for you, Is the same as every day.That no matter what you do. It brings you much happiness And many dreams fulfilled.Happy Birthday, my friend!

It's the seventh of July. The house is quiet. The sun's sharp rays have yet to pierce through the wooden blinds. There's a sound coming from the kitchen. It's my sister Ash, she's baking a cake. This early in the morning and she's baking a cake? I get up to go see, but turn left to enter the bathroom instead. Now there is that familiar smell that I've smelled all too often. I smile at the thought of her getting up this ea...

Loneliness crept in and poisoned my soul,it burned with a flame of amber and gold,which made my heart turn black and cold.Where feelings and emotions were empty,and the days went by in a standstill.It came without a warning, out of nowhere, you threw me a lifeline.I grabbed and took hold of it,not knowing where it took me or where I am going.Before the drowning waters could surround me,I was hauled off onto the boat of fr...

Here it comes, the moment I dread. When everything comes true from inside my head. Droning on and on as I heard what they said. Now the singing and laughing, I wish I was dead. Such a lousy tradition, who thought of this stuff? Isn’t just growing old and tired punishment enough? Parties and cakes and presents and fluff, I’m a man for christ’s sake, I like things rough and tough. I have a garage full of tools where I do ma...

The clowns have gone packed in their tiny red car,Balloons deflated after a big day on show,All that remains is birthday cake crumbs and a very tired one year old boy. As the first star falls into sight and the last page is turned, Sheets are folded back and new toys make mountains in his first new room,His second year waits with walking and talking on the rise. Walk to the bed tears are shed, Mother catches her toe on a...

Happy Birthday Emily. Today is your second birthday, and this is not how I thought I'd be spending it. If I cried, I thought the tears would be from Joy, Not from the pain I am feeling. Today is your second birthday, and this is not how I should be spending it. I wonder everyday, if you are watching over me, and know how I am feeling. Do you know that your mommy misses you, more than anything in this world? Do you know, t...
