Being there when you want to be elsewhere.
Always finding new ways to show you care.
Sharing news with her at all times of day and night.
Shouldering the load when that news is not alright.
Offering a shoulder when she needs to rest her head.
Asking her thoughts about a book that she just read.
Knowing when she needs her own space.
Letting her know she is always your home base.
Always playing her favorite music in the car.
In the scenes of life, she is your daily star.
Lists and Calendars
We make a list and then add it to another list.
We double check to make nothing is missed.
Calendars and “to do”s we must coordinate.
You never want to miss an important date.
Write it down and then add it to your cell.
You update the list of names to call and tell.
Who changed passwords? I need another list.
And now the computer app is on your wrist.
Paper lists and computer apps to get the job done.
When all else fails, nothing works, I just call my son.
Holiday Gifts
First, for those that have purchased any of our books, I thank you. If we can help you with a book for a gift for the holidays, let me know. You can purchase on our website, apoetatheart.com or send me a note and I will make it happen.
Happy Holidays.
Reflections
We look in the mirror and wonder, is that really me?
Is that the image that everyone will always see?
The reflection we see on a window that we pass.
Is it really class or maybe some mystery and sass.
Will your journey through life be daring and bold?
Will it always be a good story, worthy of being told?
Tales we tell, journeys we take, and lessons we teach.
Worthy objectives, we all should be able to reach.
Stories, deeds and images that will always reflect.
A reputation for you, always filled with respect.
What Will The Future Look Like?
Will you listen and learn, always with an open mind.
Share words and thoughts that are honest, but kind.
Consider the future, with all the options you observe.
Integrity above all else, will be yours to preserve.
Think before you act is always step number one.
You look for answers when often there are none.
Decades later, note all the changes that have been made.
Understand when no actions equals progress delayed.
Precious resources for our children are ours to conserve.
Your efforts give the next generation the future they deserve.
Hands Across the Ages
Your memories will always linger.
Your baby holding your finger.
Your child holding your hand.
Your child playing in the band.
Boy and girl holding hands, becoming a pair.
Still holding hands and romance is in the air.
Hands joined on their wedding day,
The future in their hands, we pray.
Over the years, always a hand to hold.
Hands to warm yours when they’re cold.
A handshake to greet a good friend,
Healing hands to help you mend.
At any age, you can use a helping hand.
When that hand reaches for you, life is grand.
