Reminiscing

With another year

almost come and gone

With new lives beginning

and others ending…

Reminiscing

 

Springtime the flowers bloom,

with orange, yellow and red’s.

Where the trees awaken

from the wintry sleep.

Reminiscing.

 

Summertime brings laughter and play

from the neighborhood kids.

Swimming and camping,

lots of family fun.

Reminiscing.

 

The Autumn with the changing leaves,

our Springtime flowers going to sleep.

Temperatures changing yet again,

goodbye to hot, hello to cold.

Reminiscing.

 

Now the Winter

is upon us again.

The snow, the cold, the wintry air,

the kids sliding in the snow.

Reminiscing.


My Angel

The first time I met you
was on the ultrasound.
You were still so tiny
with lots of room to move around.
 
When I met you in person
and you were laid on me.
I looked down at this tiny face
I couldn’t believe you were here for all to see.
 
Now you have another birthday
and very soon you’ll be three.
I pause and I wonder
when you’re all grown, what will you be?
 
Did I prepare you enough
when you finally leave the nest?
I hope I taught you right from wrong
and to be your very best.
 
And I hope you don’t mind
if I call you those baby names.
Cause that’s what is so dearest to my heart
our simple little baby games.
 
And if soneday you are doing
what I done years ago.
And looking down upon a tiny face
only then will you know.
 
That there’s no better gift
then a child sent from above.
but perhaps the best gift
is that of a mother’s love
