Lily Dust and Ice Tea Memories



Unconditional 
Love.
What a
Precious 
Gift
to
Receive 
For a
Lifetime.

Just because...
Just because
you were 
born
into 
this
world
At a particular time
To a particular mom.

A mom with a
Heart from Heaven
A garden forever in bloom.

Lily Dust
and
Ice Tea
Memories

Always to know:

"you are perfect
just the way you are...
just to be you..
 is good enough for me"


Unconditional 
Love.
What a
Precious 
Gift

Receive 
For a
Lifetime.




Happy Mother's Day!

Abundant Heart


I want to
Live
Forever
At least
To 90
He said
Driving
That
Buick
Up
Telegraph Hill
Always
Hopeful
Full of
Life
Body Frail
Heart
Abundant
Overflowing.

Don’t Die
I thought.
Long before
This day.

There always is a goodbye.

Child haunted
In
The backseat
Of
The
Minivan

Headlights
Stars
Moon
Blurred
By tears
Flowing down my face
Don’t die

I want to see you again.
I want to see you again.
I want to see you again.

I want to
Live
Forever
At least
To 90
He said
Driving

Abundant

Time
Time
Time

Passes
By.

Memories
Created

Luck?
Fortune?

To Live
Fully
To Experience
Life.

Luck?
Fortune?

To LOVE
Someone so much
You could
Burst
To LOVE
Someone so much
You could

New Years Resolution (a poem a day)

I received several lovely Christmas gifts this year. My grandmother gave me a beautiful journal. My sister gave me an art supply set. I decided to try to make it a goal or New Years Resolution to write a poem a day in the journal and use the art supply set to supplement the writing. It is mid February and I am trying my best to stick with my resolution-putting a little creativity, joy, and hope into the world one page at a time. Below are a few of my favorites :)
