autumn winds rousing about
singed leaves of burnt sienna
twirling dance of sweet demise

Muted colours,sienna and dark rose
Lovely mauve and lilac please my eye
Linen,silk or wool,I love my clothes
I like to complement,I don’t oppose
The colour wheel rotates as I go by
Wearing colours,sienna and dark rose
I like colour,all my neighbours know
The “take” on natural fibres makes me high
Linen,silk or wool,I love their glow
If people gossip, this is not their show
If I seem conceited, don’t make war
Wearing colours,sienna and dark rose
Now I’m in acrylic, what a blow
Wool is hard to find, the sheep cry Baaaa
I love, fabric, I love coloured clothes
It matters not if I have burned a bra
Seems a little mad, but there we are
Muted colours,umber and dark rose
Linen,silk or wool, the art of clothes

Sienna smile
Means the world to me
Bright eyes looking back at me
So young So precious
So beautiful to me
Sienna smile like a ray of light
So bright makes the grey all but go away
A child of mine
A gift from God
A smile like a still frame of love
Colored out by us
Sienna smile
You make this world a little easier
Daddy's little girl never meant so much
Sienna smile all eyes on you
All love to you and your precious brother Davion
Two gifts i thought were never possible
Sienna smile your life awaits
I can't wait to see where it leads
And may you smile forever more...

sienna oak droops low
khaki-like trunk stained in brown,
leaves flapping on roads
crumpled by autumnal prints...
weaving a fabric of tree's hue.

Sienna My daughter not yet born
I have no idea what you would look like
I have no clue if you will be a good baby or not
I don't know what your cries will sound like
I have no idea how messy your diapers will be
I have no knowledge of the color of your eyes
I not sure if you will know who I am
I hope you recognize my voice
Sienna my daughter not yet born
I wonder what smiles you will bring
I wonder what dreams you will have
I wonder if I could be a great father to you.
I wonder if your eyes will be blue
I wonder if you will be healthy or not
I wonder what heavens portrait of you will be.
Sienna my daughter not yet born
I do know I am blessed with you
I do know my love for you is pure
I know that face will stun me to the core
I know we are lucky to have such a miracle in you.
Sienna my daughter your mommy and I can't wait to hold you close
Can't wait to feel your tiny fingers
Can't wait to see those beautiful eyes
Can't wait to see what you have in store for us
Our little miracle unplanned and incredibly humble by.

Lover of learning, writing, and friends
