Ash Tree

The endangered Ash Tree
what can we say
we have somehow
 numbered your days
bright in the spring 
with hint of all new
in summer you shade us
and make us feel new
So wonderful in the fall
of burgundy glow
so majestic in winter
dark bark against snow
to gaze at your splendor 
to wish you to stay
look intently for it has seen it's last days

Thanks

Thanksgiving is for celebrating with family and friends.
 Some live far away and some live so near.
 Some we have lost over the years
 We give thanks together with cheer,
 never forgetting the ones we hold dear.
 Give thanks to the new and old years ago for these years pass by us so quickly you  know.
 Give thanks for what we have and hold dear.
 But always remember to hold yours and theirs near.
 Happy Thanksgiving to you

Prader-Willi Syndrome

Dear Prader Willi Syndrome.
 You took my baby and have held it hostage and I'm very angry at you. From birth you've held me hostage as well. 
 Everyday I see you looming over my family and I hate you.
 You have my son in your ugly claws.. but I will not give him to you. You hear me I WILL NOT let him be taken. I will fight you on every front I know ..so watch out. You do not own him, I do. I am the one that loves him most. I will be there for all the good and the bad and I will love him to no end. My beautiful happy little man is a joy to love.. but it's so very hard day by day. I wake up making my plans and I'm very sure I fall asleep to them as well. These plans are to give my son direction, love, and hope. So you may control him, but guess what?? You don't control me. I will fight and be knocked down but mark my words I WILL GET UP. My son has a mama bear in his corner and I will show my teeth and swipe my claws at you. I will curse you to no end on those long helpless days that promises never to end, all the backwards steps he takes I take with him. I will rejoice in the days that bring joy at making his goals and smile knowing I helped him there. So yes, I will never stop hating you. I will learn to work around you. I will never fear you as I fear my son's future, but not you, Prader-Willi, not you. You see my son is strong and beautiful and loving all that I hoped my children will be and I love him to the moon and back. So, take that Prader-Willi.

Winter

Winter white so cold and bright
blanket wide upon the site
the joy of the first sight
stay to long and we despair
leave us now, but come next year

The New Year

The New Year

The old year is out. The new, barely here.
Starting on promises you want to adhere.
The cleansing of old and of blossoming new.
Hoping that this will be your best New Year too.
Peace, love, and happiness for the old and the new.
The loved ones gone and the little ones new.
The promise of making and starting with cheer.
Let's hope for a Peaceful and Happy New Year !

Family

I don't think that having a family is a
Done that..been there kind of thing.
Each family is unique onto itself
But universal to animal kind.

Corners

I cried my tears
And I sent them along
To hide in the dark corners
Where they belong
A smile and a sigh
Brought the expected high
I see that those dark corners
Are not so scary now
The morning sheds light
That those dark corners hide
My mind is at peace
No worrying that I can not abide
It's a good day, all fresh and new
My worries are so less than I knew

Truth

the conversation goes as follows......with my nine year old daughter
Mom is Santa really real?
What do you think?
I don't know..some kids are saying he's not
so...is he real, mom?
can you just believe without knowing I ask
NO
Well.....if you want the truth ...no he is not
big brown eyes looking up at me pooling with tears..
I say..you wanted the truth and I gave it to you
stomping off to her room...slamming the door....
I feel like crap...
her door opens again and down the hall she came 
So... I guess that the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are not real as well?
long pause...not wanting to crush all her dreams....in such a short time
Well?
Yes, honey... they are not real as well...
tears and such a look of dismay she turns and runs back to her room
now I feel so bad (worse then crap)
moments later...she appears and states So...you've been lying to me all along!!!!!!
head nods and I fight back tears and nod again
at that moment I wish she was two again and Christmas would be magical and full of wonder....but I know we can't go back
Motherhood is full of Truths that are not fair

Our Day

Our Day
A dining room table
A living room chair
A bed with a side table sitting right there
A picture you took
The drapes in a pair
With many collectibles compiled to cheer
A dish to be washed
A kettle to heed
A clock on a mantle
Striking three
Children are out playing with glee
A tilt of a pillow
A table laid Lace
Where we’ll sit and say grace
Cups, spoons and forks all put away
Storing the mop, pail and broom
The hum of the dishwasher filling the room
Upstairs, kids kissed and tucked into bed
Good night, Good night sleepyhead 
Warm fuzzy slippers
Put under bed
Pillows fluffed and tucked under head
Another day done and put away
This is the ending of our day.

My Life

My life has been a Kaleidoscope
of ever changing hues
of ever changing scenes
with changing cast and crew
