The family is ready for the hoopla tomorrow
Oh, by the way, have you an egg I can borrow?
To display on my table this Easter, to be seen
On the twenty first of April, twenty nineteen

I wrote this for my Mom, three years ago, for Mother’s Day, and I am sharing it again, because today, we are celebrating her 85th birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom!! Here’s to many more! ❤
Years ago, that October day
I learned about true love
God sent me a guardian angel
My blessing from above
Guiding me along the path
She taught me how to live
With wisdom, grace and dignity
Giving all she had to give
And still this day
She shines her light
On all who gather round
I’m so very proud to call her Mom
My love for her abounds

This poem, I sigh, is the last one
For M‘s crazy month of prompts
She had us going everywhere
With verses, quite the romp!
We wrote of purple nurples
And pink poodles, those crazy pups
Myrtle just kept moaning, poor gal
With Guzzling Gary, we couldn’t keep up
I could just go on and on
In fact, I’m pretty sure I did
Time to wrap this poetry
On top, I’ve put the lid
It all amounted to simply this
Fizzy Whizzys and Galloping Gadzooks
Now, it’s time to end this poetic March
Think I’ll down some Jamba Juice!
March Writing Prompt: Jamba Juice – Day 31/31 – Another month in the books! April’s prompts are awesome. Can’t wait to see what everyone writes! 🙂

I have shared this post for the last two years and feel it is truly worth sharing again and again, for this really is the true meaning of Christmas ❤

May the glory and joy of Christmas bring you peace throughout the coming days. Merry Christmas, my friends, and Happy Holidays to all who celebrate the cultures that make this country so beautiful.
With Peace & Love,

Today, I celebrate 32 years of marriage to the love of my life! The Lord has truly blessed me with an incredible man ❤
I can write a million poems
About true love, at its finest
But if I do, you certainly
Will find me a bit too biased
Thirty two years ago, this day
I married my very best friend
A man who stands beside me
On that, I can surely depend
“Dorinda, my lifetime partner”
Etched inside my wedding band
His promise, in a symbol, placed
On the ring finger of my left hand
We celebrate each other
No matter what it is we do
Adding to those every days
By saying, “I love you”
To those who have yet to find
The perfect one for you
Never give up hope, you see
Your soulmate’s waiting, too!
