Turned pages of your existence
summons contemplation of all levels of
your reality creation...belief in self awakens
sleeping dragons of possibilities long
forgotten...remembering is not impossible
she says, Mims of the Mimmi Land
Y.o.u. do remember don’t you Mims?
We’re counting on you to take US
on the ride of lifetimes...I like to think
of it as a rollercoaster ‘cause I really
love ups and downs and sideways
everyways and always...
Y.o.u. do remember don’t you Mims?
Once upon a time long long ago, we rode
the fiery dragon of possibilities and she
was sort of like the rollercoaster except
my beautiful diaphanous adornment
was sorely ruined from lots of sparks
hither and thither...it surely made us
awaken from our sleepy time
cause sleep happens for eons of time there
this time we want to make sure we wake up...
Don’t you Mims, don’t you truly want to wake up?

February is her enchanted month
a time of birthday songs and refrains,
when an added year is but a number
so, what is her secret dream for today?
Whipping pasta and cake on a quiet evening,
strains of ‘Moonlight Serenade’ whistles..
then comes a knocking, her group of friends,
surprising her with rows of colored helium,
prisms of yellow, pink and red giant balloons
gathering around her in bouncing relay!
Laughter rolls as they pop colored orbs
till everyone sings for her life’s wish- upon star…
from out on the porch, a flurry of balloons
is released… soaring for cheered returns of days.
She keeps one zeppelin with a freckled skin,
to remind her of this unforgettable time
while moonbeams whisper high above,
“You’re not alone;” her eyes misty like night-dew.

I am from a family of seven,
I am from dealing with my problems,
I am from pain and sorrow,
I am from an un-bloomed flower,
I am from a trembling rose,
I am from never-ending questions,
I am from Gracelyn Mims,
Where I'm from,...
is great.

On this my last day, I just wanted to say -
That it has been a true joy and an honor
To have worked with each and every one.
We shared a lot of good times along the way,
Crazy times that lightened our day.
You shared my joys, my fears --
My happiness, even my tears.
It isn't easy to say goodbye,
It has been a great three years,
So I will take a deep breath and sigh --
As I try not to cry.
For I will miss each and every one of you,
You have become an important part of my life.
Knowing that you were there --
Offering support and giving comfort
Showed how much you care.
Now as I go off to make my new start
I will keep the memories
Forever within my heart.
I treasure the friendships made along the way
I will take them with me as I go through each day.
So this is my final farewell
To my coworkers, my friends,
Thanks for always being there,
Take care, keep in touch,
I will miss you all
Very much.
T. Mims
