Happy Birthday Axel
(Dedication: For my grandson Axel)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope wears a face with joy that swirls,
Apt touch of grace upon this world;
Poise in sure ease now frames clear lot,
Prime surge of peace blooms simple thought,
Yield to fond touch as joy greets cheer.
Blessings bring much to cluster near,
Invoke each day true love that stays,
Rise to warm play that strings bright

(Dedication: For my grandson Axel Caleb)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Curious child
Wears a touch wild
Wonder here
Dwells in bold spheres
Surprise me
With what you see
Wander then
Across fine spans
Fancy toys
With fragrant ploys
Winsome smile
Prompts charm with style
Daring do
Tells much of you
Lovely face
With glowing grace
Bubbly zest
In curious quest
Lovely eyes
Blossom with sighs
Crawling round
As touch now grounds

Baby Axel
Just one look
Charm casts a spell
Mesmerising
Just one glance
Eyes closed you look
Wonder delights
Just one touch
Our tofu hearts
Droop and crumble
Just one stare
A love affair
Floods the air
Just one glow
Fond feelings flow
Mini one-man show
Just one scream
Watch panic raid
Urgent demands
Just one sweet coo
Tofu hearts smile
Feelings feel good
Just one murmur
Delight now shudders
Lovely eyes speak
Just one you
Makes all things right
Till trauma screams
Just

World On An Axel
Around, and around, and around I go;
I'm getting dizzy, help, O no!
Off my axel I'm sure to fall;
Please stop me now, and let me stall.
Let class begin for I'm eager too;
To get this tickling over and through.
North and south you will find on me;
Please have mercy on my tummy.
East and west are here and there;
Discover
