Smoke rings escape out to the world

   ~ Soon dissipated, nothing's uncurled...

A life once brought into the world
Is a new leaf uncurled
Breeze and storm it faces
At times the fire blazes
Withering or staying strong
Drooping or fluttering all day long
All around seeing things die
Until at last it's time to say goodbye
Farewell to thee dear life...

bring hope around the world
watch undeveloped countrys uncurled
let freedom rein
and stop the pain
celebrate the year
for some people fear
it's coming to the end
help the injured and watch them mend
for we have one life one earth
watch the miracle of giving birth
hope for the future!...

Does each bubble contain an unseen world,
unfurled in a child's fantasy?
A brief time of childish alchemy
in which magic is uncurled, 
until finally it is whirled
away in adult finality!

The old county faIr
Six times on the Ferris wheel
A three dog night


A sudden shower
Run for cover or shiver
Uncurled ringlets laugh


A tiny trophy
A water pistol winner
Clutched in sleeping hands

Our overture
A rumble of fireworks
Beneath a rainbow

You came into our world,
Like  a ray of sunshine.
Slowly our palms uncurled,
And like a pearl you outshone.

In the days of darkness,
You brought a ray of hope.
Removed all the bleakness,
With renewed zest we could cope.

You are the apple of our eye,
You brought joy happiness and laughter.
All the goodness no money can buy,
Lucky to have such a loving and precious daughter....

You are the light
That's in my soul
You are clear in sight
While others are dull

You are always there for me
Whenever I am down
You are funny and carefree
And make smiles from my frowns

I will love you till the end
Somehow though you love me even more
You are also my best friend
You see my truth deep in my core

You are the best in the world
And everyone should see 
My love has now uncurled
You are everything to me...

A dark soul long immersed in a grey world  
Awakened to a spirit’s shining beam
And foolishly presumed as he uncurled
His destiny was to possess her gleam.

The dark youth’s folly then was slowly dimmed 
By reason, sweat, philosophy and years.
Where once his hopes of lightness brimmed,
In time’s passage, they all but disappeared.

When once more fate flashed her bright rarity, 
It was not for him to have, but to see....
