• Happy Birthday to Dad

  I can't believe I forgot my dad's birthday.  He would be so disappointed.  Anyway, Happy Birthday Dad.  I miss you and know someday we will sit and talk again, until then peace, be still.

  The Poem for Dad I Never Shared...

  A time will pass someday

  When I won’t notice you have gone away.

  The sun will rise and rest,

  And I will remember only the friend that was my best.

   

  For today, however, time flees,

  I will not forget, or look at the sunset,

  And not think of your eyes I still see,

  Brilliant steel blue, fading dimly and then finally at rest.

   

  It is the cycle of life, the natural process, you would declare,

  We are born, and surely we must then we go away.

  It is that watchful wisdom I miss, your constant counsel, now not here. 

  I think of your words often in the day, as I navigate on my way.

   

  Remember when I was your only darling girl?

  Running to follow, jumping and spinning I would twirl. 

  Your steps were long and wide, your legs swift and strong,

  And in my perpetual youth I felt you could never be wrong.

   

  It was crisp, red and orange, autumn came soon,

  When you went quietly away from this earth,

  The skies were gray, and it was late afternoon

  Leaves red dancing, floating away, and your last breath I heard.

   

  Now has past a winter, spring’s rebirth, and summer,

  Life remains reluctantly rich and thriving.

  Looking at the sunrise, the sunset in the horizon’s shimmer,

  I think of you and remember your leaving.

  Peace, Love and Energy,
