Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad, you would be 100 today - I miss you like a ghost misses heartbeats.

       ~

midst all of heaven's blessings

          my treasures, known and had

               not one can best the miracle

     that fate made you ... my dad.

                    I love you, RT.

Premium MemberIn Memory of Dad

Eighty today
Thirty years gone
Time doesn’t balance those numbers

He was a hard man
Built from things he never talked about
But what he taught me holds

I still feel his presence
In the parts of me that don’t break

Premium MemberOde to my dad on his 74th birthday

Hungarious herbanamed hairchinned humanoid!
This tungstanesk triumph – to some thanatoid…
Mathematicos marvel: mention “nontotiet!”
But Basil-based bullters bothered? Outbleat???

For functioning fully at family functions,
requires restrained raconteurial unctions.
Propensities/properties you outpossess.
injurious idiot’s ill-conceived jest…

No! Never negating nine-tenths of nonplussed,
because Basil-boy, your bingeworthy bust,
should stand sentry in stone for descendants yet born,
And for you to admire, while mowing the lawn.

Premium MemberTo Dad on his birthday

It's twenty fifth of May
Alas, you're miles away from me

flash back of mosaic memories 
when i was in your sight
brings back scents of home 
exuding  like curry
from mom's kitchen
as you serenade her
with songs she used to sing 
to make me sleep on rainy eve.

Oh Dad, with gratitude 
on your birthday 
this rouge roses I send,
tied with a rainbow 
that will never end.

Premium MemberHappy Number 110, Dad

   Happy Number 110, Dad
     Thanks to you I can recall
   Life before the Internet
     and the shopping mall

   I remember your office
     a cabinet, desk and chair
   Open the window
     if you wanted fresh air

   You maneuvered tough times
     the Great Depression, WW2
   Today more than ever, Dad
     I'm humbled by you

   Had he lived, my dad would be 110 years 
   old today, Feb. 17, 2024.  He shares his
   birthday, by the way, with Michael Jeffrey
   Jordan.


Premium MemberMy Dad Won the Lottery

My dad won the lottery Sultan announces to his third-grade class.
There are gasps all around, the other eight-year-olds are amazed.
How much? One of the brighter youngsters’ yells.
“Six billion or more,” he says giving a flashy wave.
“Want to come to my birthday party?” ask another bright lightbulb.
“When is it?”
“Next Saturday, all the other kids are invited.”
The teacher says nothing. 
“We are buying a mansion,” Sultan tells his classmates.
“I get to design my own room.”
His family is perhaps the poorest family in the school.
They have several children, and they are in transition aka homeless.
The teacher continues working on their gift baskets.
Understanding that sometimes the poorest children have the largest stories.

Premium MemberAll I Gave Him For His Birthday Was Toothpicks

I gave Dad PARTY PICKS
250 multi-colored sticks

Wish it'd been a lil better
Gift card, book, sweater

One day I sobbed to Mom
She got me to be calm

It's like a Dad-artifact
Keeping memory intact

How he'd pick his teeth
Now it's our bequeath

It's almost all empty
But doesn't tempt me

To trash the lil bottle
It's become a model

For simpler gift-giving
And thoughtful living

Could be a small vase
For flowers by his face

Wish I had more Dad-things
For the memory it brings

More importantly, I had him
I love you Dad (Jim)

Premium MemberBest Birthday Card Ever

The ingenious fluffy baby bunny sat at the kitchen table.
She liked the feel of the slick plastic cloth.
It had pink roses, and it smelled of lemon.
Someone must have spilled something sweet.

Her daddy’s birthday card must be marvelous this year.
Something over-the-top wonderful, something memorable.
She choose her words carefully, taking her time with each careful dash.
Tied his card to a ribbon and watched it float to his home in heaven.

Premium MemberLet's Take a Drive

Sunday night means irritation
   aggravation, pure frustration
Weekend’s gone, workweek looms
   Monday’s forecast, gloom and doom

Cheer us up, my family pleads
   OK, let’s go outside and pick some weeds
Don’t tell me there’s naught to do
   The bushes need some pruning too

Alright, get up, let’s take a drive
   Down by the lake, the fish are alive
We get in the car, I step on the gas
  Needle’s on empty, we’ll take a pass  

Another Sunday night just frittered away
  Almost forgot, Dad ~ Happy Birthday!
fun

Premium MemberHappy Birthday Dad

So many years have past you by
Quicker than you thought
Dad, I want you to know
Enough years there are not !
Even though you think that I
Have a mind all of my own,
So much of you absorbed in me
I'll never be alone.
In some way or another
People say I'm like my Dad,
It's something that I am proud of
And it makes me very glad.
Today is your birthday
But I am the one getting the lift,
Because having you here with us
Is really the best gift!

Premium MemberCiel Elise

Ciel, on your birth day ‘twas true to say
Heaven’s bright light rays rain’d down from above
Fast forward to fifteen years to the day
Now it’s you that brings light, laughter, and love

Kind, calm and caring, words under control
Wait! Who’s that fleet girl in cleats with the ball?!?
Rocket shot from right wing shoots straight to goal
Through back of the net...ball, keeper and all

French horn, piano, and ukulele
Swimming with sea turtles and manatee
Beautiful music and places to stay
Your trips oft start with Airbnb

Beacon of bright light for love, hope, and peace
Sweetest of sweet hearts, our Ciel Elise

Premium MemberHappy Birthday Mom and Dad

Oh countless oaths are given to true love

          Still few can so survive life's passing tests

               And rarer yet are souls bound from above

     The fires of heaven lasting in their breasts



A blessing to have witnessed such a bond

          The loving ones who gave to me my breath

               None others have I known that are as fond

     Of honoring commitment through to death



In seven decades now they have embraced

          Each other midst a weaving of their dreams

               United thru the bad and good they've faced

     Each challenge as the truest of such teams



Of all life's blessings I have known and had

          None other e'er will equal ... Mom and Dad.

Premium MemberTo My Daughter, Sophia

"Is it a girl? I think it's a girl!!...Doc?"
Flowers form'd blooms from sunny Easter skies
Let's call her Sophia Pascal Peacock
Our first baby born with baby blue eyes

You were two, I'd brag..."See what I'm seeing?"
Sighing, your mother would cringe and quiver
"Look! We've made the perfect human being,
She got all the best things we could give her!"

Wisdom, passion, love flows from your spirit
So alive with drive, caring and kind too
Accepting defeat? No, you won't hear it
So...you know...we can't be more proud of you

Birth day, we pray'd, thank'd God that He brought her
Now sweet sixteen, my beautiful daughter

Premium MemberMy Daddy Is In Heaven

My Daddy is in heaven,
Yet he is here too
My Daddy was the fun one.
The one who could play

My Daddy is in heaven.
I have no time to miss him,
Keeping myself busy
In his honor

He was the kind of man who
Always had a new hobby,
A new passion, a new pastime.
He knew how to entertain himself.

I get this from both of my parents.
My mother is still here, entertaining herself
Daily, holding exercise classes for ninety-year olds,
Delivering packages, delivering Meals on Wheels

I am lucky.
My parents taught me the joy
Of giving to others, of living my bliss
Of developing new hobbies and talents, of living my joy.

Happy birthday Daddy!
