With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2018, twenty-eight

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this two years ago and have amended it to reflect this years date. I’m off for the day!  See you tomorrow  ❤

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! ❤

She dreams of days, when she can fly
Without ever really questioning why
Days where life, decides to play
And things, forever, go her way

She dreams of love, eternal, true
Hoping one day, he’ll be you
Her hand against the window shade
Thoughts and visions, heavily weighed

She dreams of all, such wondrous things
The kind to make her whole heart sing
My beautiful, daughter, so full of love
My beautiful blessing from Heaven above

May all your dreams come true!! Happy 27th Birthday, Sunshine!
