Kristie, 66 Tricks
Maybe with Kendall’s or Eric’s?
Feasting with grandkids & Lee?
Teach ‘em piano Fur Elise antics,
At 66 You’re never an “Oldie”,
But on a higher level, perfecting your act,
Polishing the silver Amma selfie,
Once a travel agent always max,
In helping dreamers realize their trapeze,
Juggling solutions, inventing fixes,
Tick Tocks for some can be scary screams,
We wish for Kristie seconds be kisses,
Of approaching joyful dreams!
Chaim or Rusty & Barbara sing Happy Birthday!

What words could I confess
From my tender heart, within my chest
Words that I cannot share with you
Are best hidden from your view
Knowing you cannot return them
In all love’s honesty
As you shield your dark heart
From all, for all…eternity.

A wild plant despised by many
...the dandelion may be cursed;
cursed with bright yellow petals
that flutter in the wind,
cursed with white pompom centers
enjoyed by honey bees,
cursed with light airy seeds
that float on the summer breeze,
cursed to land freely, in any yard or field
or whatever it wants to begin,
cursed it may actually be...
as gardeners and homeowners pull it free.

Nortre Dame Cathedral,
ancient and regal
devoured by smoke and flame
history lost, stones crumble
who is to blame?
water and flame fight
deep into the April night
Parisians in the streets
watch the lady's defeat
mournful songs fill the smokey air
in the morning, hearts in mourning
will the Grand Dame of Paris still be there?

It was the worst kind of summer day
You said our path was not your way
You had roads to travel, places to roam
You couldn’t be tied down here at home
So off you went, backpack in hand
To travel and explore distant lands

When I arrived the tide was out,
the sand stretched far and wide.
The sun was high in a cloudless sky,
and the wind held birds up high.
Waves crashed against the rocks,
not far from the sandy shore.
Each wave rose taller, stronger,
than the wave before.

I have seen beaches with no one on them.
I have seen beaches with hoards upon them.
I have seen beaches
glistening in the moonlight.
I have seen beaches bathed in sunlight.
I have seen beaches covered in driftwood.
I have seen beaches
where I would sleep if I could.
Of all the beaches I have seen,
there is only one beach where I could be queen, and that would be a beach...
No one has seen.
