2010

Death has taken a few greats: Willa Mae Sams Brooks, Gary Coleman(What chu talkin bout?)
Dennis Hopper, and Lena Horne

Childhood still has a day or two left, toys are scattered all about the floor. A new year's baby 
has another year to plan and explore. Time continues across the globe though our hearts are 
saddened for those who have gone before us. 

The sun is shining and the leaves still blow, I hear a puppy yipping waiting for a boy to play 
fetch. There is still packaging scattered across the floor from Christmas presents. Tonight we 
will celebrate a new year for the birthday girl.

Happy New Year to all!!! May your dreams come true!
