Ah, to sink into a sea of chardonnay

Allow it to drown my sorrows away

No need for a glass, nor a bottle or two

I’ll just throw myself in, and relax for a few

Take in the aroma, of apples and oak

Forget about time, as I’m in for a soak

This is my fantasy, a dream quite divine

Just me and oceans of chardonnay wine

Alyssa’s celebrates her 28th birthday today.  These are a few of my favorite pictures of her.

Yankee Stadium, Monument Park, Rockin’ #42 Mariano Rivera

Staying warm at The Fine Grind

A curly fry smile (she is very silly)

But extremely serious about her Snoopy collection (This is Snippy)

Simply Gorgeous

Lys and me, many moons ago (my favorite pic of us)

Chowing down on her Napoleon cake (her 27th birthday cake)

But in the end, she is Daddy’s little girl, always and forever ❤

Here’s to you, Alyssa!  You have grown into an amazing young woman and I am so blessed that God chose me to be your Mom!!  I love you, Sunshine! ❤

All this playing

Leaves my tongue hanging out

Just let me bury

My cute little snout

In a bowl of cold water

Please fill it up

Then get out of my way

Cause I’m a thirsty pup!

To Dwell in the Mundane ~ #poetry #sadness

The days are upside down

A whirlwind of unknowns

Each morning, I face them

A mirror image of who I am

But where do I need to be?

I overlook the important

To dwell in the mundane

Endlessly searching for me

Wondering where I went

Yet, never finding myself

It’s a brutal pattern

A continuous thread

Unraveling, dangling

With no scissors in sight

To cut away the fray

Until it is too late

Everything I have done

Denigrated, criticized

Until the attacks cease

Forever brought to an end

 

Authors Note:  Just letting you know I am fine.  My poetry, lately, has been reflective of those who are not fine.  I am merely a voice for those who cannot speak…

When magic alights

Sorrow turns to hopefulness

Miracles happen
