The Youngest Light
Dedicated to my dearest youngest sister,
Happy Birthday Lucy (May 31)
Age of novice years,
a glow of purity along
with a smile of innocence,
born with a tiny frame yet
exuded an ultimate
presence.
A light like no other,
tremendous capability,
but how so?
In a sky of darkness,
you are a tiny dot of
bright light surrounded
by ones of a larger
proportion that casts
a shadow

youngest leprechaun intern
Youngest leprechaun intern was a mere boy of eleven
He was tiny though, did not look much older than seven.
Had a wide smile, and a jaunty way about him, was fun too.
He will do, the leprechauns of old said, Oh, yes, he will do!

From the Youngest To the Oldest
We decided to take a swimming pool exercise class for seniors…
we thought it would be sweet…
A way to get some exercise and beat the Florida heat.
Two realizations hit me as I waded in: One, the water was a little cool,
and Two, as I looked around it seemed to me…I was the oldest man in the

Youngest
As the oldest child, I got to choose
Before my other sibs.
From where to sit or what to do,
I was awarded dibs.
The fact of being older meant
I had a certain clout
That might have caused resentment
But was always straightened out.
My younger grandchild, though, believes
Her status holds the keys
To open every door she can
Which “youngest” guarantees.
She doesn’t think

Ian, My Youngest Grandson On His Fourteenth Birthday
Ian, my grandson is quite a lively joy,
Though I admit, he's often a wilful boy,
Study for him is a bore
Homework ever his worst chore.
Football is the game always his eager ploy.
Watch him how fast he runs up and down the ground,
Shooting straight and strong and with fine goals astound.
Never tires running with speed,
But about learning

Difficult To Fool the Youngest Child In the Room
JoLee was the most harmonious fruitful friend I ever had.
She was welcomed into our family by sis, mom and dad.
Intriguingly quintessential as a human being in every way.
Little brother was not thrilled with her, he mentioned every day.
The rest of us were smitten by this fireball of a human being.
Life seem graceful and delicate around

Buddy Was the Youngest and Bravest of Soldiers
Buddy was the youngest and bravest of soldiers,
he left Richmond Hill and his adolescent dreams;
on European battlefields he fought and earned
valor in Argonne and dominated the combat with gallantry:
he was the boldest one, pushing forward and gaining ground,
never bared defeat in front of an assailant enemy!
Buddy was the most brazen of all and tried to

Sean My Youngest Brother
Just four years and
I tried to know you
To help you get through
That soul snatching venom.
Just four years of reaching
Out searching for your hand...
On any forum or phone.
Just four years of wanting so
Desperately to connect to our mother,
Through you, within your swirling art.
Just four years disconnected by a few miles
And years never knowing I had

Farewell To the Youngest Soldier
He was more invaluable to his country
than his own precious life,
how could a glorious and promising
youth with a gorgeous face
with a voice not made to chant,
and with golden curly hair be sent
to war when his slender and feeble
body wasn't ready for battle,
for the horrors, he had never seen,
or even imagined in awful dreams...
would the splashing

Youngest
One day I met an old woman,
Who said am supposed to greet,
Her harsh words made me scared,
But then I said "Shikamoo Bibi".
With her beautiful white hair,
She just look at me angry,
She didn't reply to my greeting,
I wondered like what I should do!
So I decided to go closer,
And started taking selfies with her,
Again angrily she said

From the Youngest Table
When our children were young our family of five was always willing and able
to sit, when it was time to eat, around one dining room table.
But children grow as do families and though each new addition we adored
there came a time when our table couldn’t accommodate our family anymore.
The solution to this problem…for a family

Our youngest offspring
The breast of this dada heaves
with remorseful painful ache
as if...the insides of my body
into a bajillion pieces break
though anniversary of birth,
I intended to write, but... did rake
akin to hot coals, an overwhelming agony
wrought urgent compulsion to slake
expunging sudden onset, shook me awake,
how this papa brought years of heartache,
upon an innocent newborn,
oh no...definitely "not fake,"
and her

My Youngest Son Was Dropping My Iphone
My youngest son was dropping my iPhone.
Unfortunately, not just once, but almost twice.
If someone interested- take the mishap and own.
He is three years, with fair hair and brightly brown eyes.
