31 Years Ago ~ #poetry

dadme
Wasn’t it just yesterday
You called to say hello
To catch up on my crazy life
And joke about the snow

The minutes flew by, much to fast
Like the snowflakes swirling round
We laughed so much, my stomach hurt
Our laughter knew no bounds

We promised once again to call
On New Year’s Eve, to say
The best is yet to come, alas
It didn’t end that way

You left before the year was done
God had other plans for you
The telephone would never ring
With “hello there”, this is true

Forever, Daddy, you’re always here
We’re never far apart
Every time I look up to the stars
I feel you in my heart

 

In Loving Memory of My Daddy, Frank  8/28/28 – 12/31/85

What 2016 has Taught Me

goodbye-2016What 2016 has taught me (in no particular order)

• Life is short, live it to your fullest potential
• Never ever let anyone dull your sparkle
• Get rid of the negative factors that bring you down. Do this for your peace of   mind
• Take care of you first, everything else will fall into place
• Some of my closest friends are people I have never met, and yet I still feel like I’ve known them forever
• God answers prayers, especially when you think he’s not listening
• My WordPress community is an amazing group of talented individuals that I am proud to consider my second family.

I can go on and on, but I won’t! It’s hard to believe that 2016 is coming to a close, and yet, I simply cannot wait for it to leave! To say this year has been challenging would be putting it mildly. But I don’t want to dwell. I am looking forward to the New Year, with a lot of great projects on the horizon. I am more passionate about my writing than ever before, so I’ve made my list, checked it, oh, about a bazillion times, and said, this is it…what I want to accomplish in 2017.

To say thank you to all of you who continue to encourage and support me, seems lacking in some way. While those words have such deep meaning, they are contrite at times. You have filled a place in my heart that I never really knew was empty. That, in itself, is an amazing feeling!

And so, as 2016 readies to set sail into oblivion, I wish all of you, my friends, family, blogily, the very best for the coming year, and beyond. I look forward to new adventures, new friends, and new victories for all of us!

From my family, to yours…Happy New Year!  May 2017 shine its light on the world

❤ Dorinda, Neil, Jonathan & Alyssa

Take heed to the sounds

Left by the waves, the echo

Of recurrent life

With mischievous eyes

She knows no boundaries

Alluring, her guise

Profane and quite profoundly,

She draws you into her, step by step

Under her spell, she has you kept

Til she makes you a deal

You can run for your life

Or catch the glimmer of steel

As she sharpens the knife
