Mommy's Gift ..written April 28, 1999

Sweet little angel now close your eyes;
Mommy wants to show you a little surprise,
I would like to show you this memory of me in case you never knew;
but I was young and small once, and this reminds me so much of you.

As the two of us gaze upon the pictures from times long since past;
It makes me realize how time passes on and how we all grow up so fast,
I sit here and snuggle , holdin you so very tight;
Before I know it, you will be grown and I will miss tucking you in goodnight.

Growing up is never an easy task to do;
but all the growing pains you will encounter, will make a stronger you.
It may not feel like it now, when your fragile feelings are hurt;
If you always try to do your best, hopefully some of life’s hardships will become avert.

Someday you are going to grow up and be inwardly strong;
If I have taught you anything, I hope that it is right from wrong.
You have a whole lifetime ahead of you;
It doesnt matter what others think, so long as to yourself you remain true.

Dear sweet angel, you are the hope for a better and brighter tomorrow;
Enjoy life for all of its beauties and try not to dwell on some of its sorrows,
You are my one in a million, always standing out in the crowd;
No matter what you ever do, I want you to know, Mommy will always be proud.

Autumn In New England
It is a crisp cold autumn day in good 'Ol New England;
when it is best to be indoors and spend your weekend,
The smell of firewood fragrants the air;
while the chilly northern winds mess up your hair,
To look out at the sky, you will see a grayish glow;
as you think to yourself..."Please God, Dont let that be snow."
The trees are starting to lose their colorful luster;
and the effort of raking up leaves, is much more than you can muster,
I have wonderful memories of autumns long since past;
like the smell of a woodstove, as it warms you up fast,
Visions from childhood of jumping into a pile of leaves;
and if you listen real hard, you can still hear the joyous screams,
There is nothing better than a mug of Hot Cocoa;
as the warmth thaws you out..from your head to your toes,
I will spend many a night snuggled up under a quilt;
anxiously awaiting spring, when the flowers no long wilt.

Feelings To Flowers
There is nothing more beautiful than that of a flower;
it has beauty in looks, but also in its healing powers,
I dont want for you to just take it from me;
why don't you go ask that cute, little, fat honeybee?
One of nature's ways to make us smile;
so fresh and delicate, and often fragile,
Roses to sweethearts to say " I Love You;"
and carnations on apparel when you say " I Do,"
Daisies to the sick to make them well;
orchids to friends to cheer them to be swell,
Flowers have a way of making someone's day;
and they do it better, than some words can ever hope to say.

Stephanie's Poem
To the sweetest of all the girls;
more beautiful than a string of pearls,
Her mommy loves her very much;
and loves when they can snuggle and such,
She has a cute little smile;
only wish that she would show it , more than once in awhile,
I love to hear her childish giggles;
when tickled, doing those squirms and wiggles,
I like to hear all about her day;
and she is never at a loss for words to say,
My beautiful girl is loving and caring;
so thoughtful, nice, and always sharing,
She is adorable in every way;
and I hope that she has a Happy Valentine's Day!

A Peaceful Wish For Christmas
The Spririt of Christmas brings forth tons of joys;
for children, their eyes light up from all of Santa’s toys,
A time for the world to be at peace;
Feelings of hatred, should be released,
Be kind to each other, and let your hearts be true;
While Santa prepares his reindeer to sail the skies of blue,
Busy little elves working hard in Santa’s shop;
In hopes that the goodness this time of year brings shall never stop,
While peace and goodwill at this time go hand in hand;
My wish is for the world to put aside their differences, and just love their fellow man.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ChristmasTime
Christmas is the best time of year;
it is when everyone spreads yuletide cheer,
Peace on earth, Goodwill towards man;
at this time, comes hand in hand,
Carolers sing songs to perk up people’s spirits;
there is something to be said about their heartwarming lyrics,
Children everywhere anxiously await their Christmas joys;
trying hard to behave, so Santa will bring lots of toys,
Nothing is more beautiful than a fresh Christmas snow;
giving a magical essence as you watch the wind make it blow.

Karen and Brian's wedding
On this crisp December Day;
It will forever be remembered as your wedding day,

The bride will be beautiful, all dressed in white;
To all who will see her, it will be a delight,
The gown... Oh how lovely, as it flows all around;
I am sure the bride will be the talk of the town!

The groom will be handsome, in his wedding day clothes;
And on his apparel, there will be a single red rose,
He will anxiously await for her to come down the aisle;
Once she does, it will produce, much more than a smile.

The pair is now married, now husband and wife;
They will set off on their journey to start their new life.

Today is the day that you will become husband and wife;
It is also the day, that you will start your new life,
Your future together has just begun;
Happiness and fortune await you and your son,
Treat each other with kindness and to each other be true;
Remember that respect is one of the greatest of virtues,
Make time to sit together and listen;
Communication is the trick for your relationship to glisten,
It is important to care about how each other feels;
Compassion and understanding needs to be revealed,
Compromise is a skill that you will learn to master;
Be fair to each other, and your love will grow greater faster,
May your future be bright;
from a little insight,
And as you join each other hand in hand;
Always remember, that true love is Grand.

To my friend Joe...and my number 1 fan
without whom, I would not have dared to even put any of this on a webpage. He has been great in encouraging me to utilize my talents..and to him I shall forever be greatful. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend.

My protective angel in the dark of night;
giving me courage, taking away my fright,
Offering me guidance so I can carry on;
encouraging me to hold my head up strong,
Always there when I need a shoulder to cry on;
one person that I know..I can always count on,
Someone I can trust with my innermost thought;
could search for eternity, but no friend like you could ever be sought.

To All the Volunteers in the World..who dedicate their time to helping others
This is from all of us who owe you a great deal; making our jobs easier, sometimes in circumstances that are less than ideal,
Yuo work hard each day;
without benefit of pay,
You are always there to lend a helping hand;
waiting for us to call upon you with a little errand,
We know that it must be difficult to devote so much time;
but without you, this world could never be prime,
It takes a special person to do what you do;
and you do it so well, day in and day through,
There is hardly a person who is not honored by your presence;
you gladly help us all, no matter what the circumstance is,
Sometimes we take for granted how often we need your assistance;
you are always there when we need you, with very little resistance,
We may not always remember to say "thank you " and to "have a nice day";
but we appreciate your efforts, in a most endearing way,
We call upon you with our most precious of goods;
and we probably call upon you much more than we should,
Not a person in this world should not be warmed with your touch;
and on behalf of us all,"'THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
