My Treasures
The power of the written word!
Poetry is ambrosia for the heart and soul;
By far my favorite poems are the 1000 or more
Love letters written to my Mom and left on her pillow.
What a joy to wake up to such a wondrous love!
The Beach
Unnoticed, water lapping at my feet,
I did not feel the sand between my toes.
But for gulls’ cries, isolation complete.
Then I saw you. What wonders God bestows!
How could I know the first day that we met
Our lives would change forever, Dearest One?
Your shy glance, my smile in return: Kismet!
Our fates were determined, intertwined, done!
Friends, now lovers; passion fills day and night.
You’re the brightest star in the galaxy.
Soul mates for life through blessings or through plight.
My Darling Girl, you mean the world to me.
.
Life is full of Joy with you by side.
I cherish the day you became my bride!
