But each moment we are given
Is a blessing unto itself
We celebrate Family Day
We celebrate Mother's...

My kids…now my grands
in the rearview mirror
My cousin’s kids having kids
lots of kids
I don’t know them.
New generations escorting me out
eventually and they won’t remember me
But
we...

Dice in DarkWake up in the midnight,
Staring at the window outside
It slightly far above my sight
A little girl’s hands folded
Cries out in pain
I can read her facial expression through
closed windowpane,
All her veins stuck out in utter...

She still soldiers on with unwavering drive,
Her shoulders burdened with tedious roles,
Yet she perseveres, never once cajoles.
Complaining not of the struggles she endures,
Nor boasting of the blessings that are...

Congratulations, hope you’ll both be very happy.

BLOSSOMLight pink rose petals
turning dark pink.
Beautiful flowers that
smell of spring.
Roast beef cooking slowly
while we wait to meet happily.
We eat the roast beef,
all the family gathered up again.
We celebrate, we laugh.
Making jokes we...

All OR Nothing...I remember when it was SOMETHING.
A Lesson OR Blessing, actually BOTH.
Is blood thicker than water? Not if bad blood has formed. Was it always tainted, beneath the naked eye of a surface picture painted.

Fantasies and fallacies boosting men for filching,
Selling...
