Short Turn One Poems

I waited 40 years to turn One for the fifth time.
Cheers to the tears earned in a life's rhyme just
and to remember who we are. I'm 'here' and I'm
not far. It's the first, fifth time I've dared. ;)...

this eight to five office  routine

            can turn one into a cretin,

       while some find it quite bearable,

           others just think it's horrible,

    stretching one's patience far too thin,

             poisoning the spirit within....

You're inside, I'm outside
Come and stand with me
We'll look off to the mountains 
See the colors on the trees

It's cool now in the mornings
Summer's gone, I shrug
I have a nice warm blanket
But I need a snuggle bug

I'd love for you to be her
I wouldn't ask for much
Just a kiss or hug perhaps?
Or maybe your soft touch 

The invitation's open
I hope it comes to be
Before I turn one hundred five
And if it does, whoopeeeee!!...

Life is like a chapter in a book

We open and have a look

Each page unfolds a chapter at a time

One opens another closes we find

As we turn one page it grows

New chapters begin to unfold

Until we find a book

Like life we have a look

Each page shiny and new

Like our life as we grew

One page one line

One day every time

Until the book is done

Until life is none

We live one day at a time

Just like we read every line...

You got ten lil fingers
and ten lil toes
Welcome to the world
that Daddy already knows

I see your Mommas eyes
and your Mommas chin
I see my features
as I see your grin

Can't wait for the day
that you call me daddy
So I can hold you close
to show you how I'm happy

I want to see your face glow
when you turn one
Or even when you take a step
then learn how to run

But to let you know
I will be always be here
And I'll always love you
welcome to the world and have no fear...
