A New Life
When a baby is born, it's like a fresh spring day
Being a healthy one is what all parents pray
The pain and struggle a mother indulges
With bigger breast and stomach that bulges
Cute as a button when they arrive
The kicking, the moving, the feeling inside
Men are clueless of all the pain, I'm sure
They have no clue what women endure
Seeing the little hands and the little people feet
The very first look is a mother's best treat
Cuddle the little one against her chest
Feeding with milk from mothers breast
Men take notice of your beautiful wife
Who just created a beautiful life
Hold them and hug them but not too tight
Close to you, the feeling is right
Hold the tiny hands rub their little feet
Promise your love your promise to keep
Mother and child a beautiful sight
Not looking forward to the restless nights
A child being born is a feeling of spring
To create a new life is a lovely thing.

Happy Valentines Day, Happy Valentines Day,
Happy Valentines Day to me.
Ain't got no boyfriend,
'Cause I'm seventy-three.
Won't get no card,
Nor a box full of candy,
So I'll buy it myself,
And I think that's just dandy.
Can't go out to eat,
Or do anything fun,
'Cause Covid-19,
Kicked that in the bum.
Won't get no phone calls,
Or gifts filled with lovin',
I did get one call,
From my favorite cousin.
Don't get me wrong,
I'm still cute as a button,
But at this stage of the game,
The sex appeal's nuthin'.
cute as a button
his name is little skunk U
when he pees, le pew !
she was adorable and sweet
cute as a button two left feet
she was a ball of fun
never walked would run
anything but bleak
she had a dark streak
there on the double
loved to stir up trouble
happy to test our patience
flaunting a hint of genius

She's a pure Southern girl
Fried deep in hospitality
Beautiful as a magnolia bloom
Standing tall in majesty
Talks with a sweet syrupy drawl
As cane sugar seeps from her pores
Cute as a button and that is not all
Picture perfect as the girl next door
Honeysuckle ripe on the vine
More than enough sweet to fill your needs
Chasing fireflies in the middle of flight
Giving off just enough light to keep you intrigued
She's a pure Southern girl
Stands out in a crowd
Laughs out loud so easily
She'll give you the time and make you her world
She loves passing the time
On a green mountainside or a tan sunny beach
Any place in life suits her just fine
As long as it's down South within her Southern charms reach
With a flip of the coin, she gives you a choice
And she'll be the one you choose
A pure Southern girl is all that she is
And all that she'll ever do
a redheaded ball of curiosity
cute as a button
eyes dancing with smiles
he has a crush
searching for his little one
taller than he
she with curly hair
a room filled with happiness
piano keys and joy
it made me
cry
Merry Christmas
Cute as a button with elegant stances,
Tip-toes so quietly then bravely prances.
Gracefully manicured, an art of purr-fection,
Is seen for a second then changes direction.
So fiery and spunky and lively at play,
Loves pizza and pasta and tuna, if made!
Is clumsy and silly, and loves to climb trees,
Affectionate and mellow and purrs when at ease.
Takes long naps and short laps and hides.
Is known for its granted nine lives.
Independent and needy at will.
Loves freedom and couch time to chill.
Amusingly funny and shy.
Neurotic, mysterious and sly.
Furry and snuggly and smart.
Cats are family-friendly with class!

It's just like spring all year round
When you're with that special someone
The one you think about 24/7
Who you think is cute as a button
Love sweet love has always been
At top of every human emotion
I defy anyone to name me another
That compares with this true devotion
An old dude now but once a young soul
In the prime of life back then
Love was number one, my brain was filled
With images of twists and bends
Love never turned out quite that amazing
In all the many years since
But oh it was still an amazing journey
The lucky one, I'm convinced
She's "cute as a button" is a well known expression
Could even make modelling a successful profession
She'd sure have my vote
She chokes up my throat
Wearing a bikini, might cause a transgression
My favorite cousin of all time,
And the best friend I could ask for.
Cute as a button,
You never make our friendship a bore.
Everyone might be out to get you,
Least of all, I’ll be here.
And everyone doesn’t just choose,
I realize that our family is dear.
No one understands how much you mean,
Even though we keep it clean.
Little girls are cute as a button,
Little boys aren’t worth notin’
Little girls are as smart as a fox,
Little boys can’t find their way out of a cardboard box,
Little girls are hard to understand,
Little boys sometimes you just can’t stand,
Little girls smell like sweet tarts,
Little boys smell like dyno-farts.
Little girls are cute as a button,
Little boys aren’t worth notin’
Little girls are as smart as a fox,
Little boys can’t find their way out of a cardboard box,
Little girls are hard to understand,
Little boys sometimes you just can’t stand,
Little girls smell like sweet tarts,
Little boys smell like dyno-farts.
A Christmas Memory
Twenty one,cute as a button, long auburn hair, thin as a twig, and a beautiful smile
Planning your future with your son with hope to change your lifestyle
A few days before the holidays your future comes to life and your son was left alone
Your lifestyle caused your departure living your son to make the change on his own

The unrequited love poem.....
Outside my window,
Elegant ferns and flowers,
Lost in the crowd,
My intangible man,
Cute as a button,
My love distance lover,
My listless lips ravishing,
One day he'll come to me...
Surprise!! Surprise!!
There's no one there,
No empirical evidence
For this adoration, O Muse....
My unrequited love poem.
