My sister’s crayons
My sisters crayons always just laid there Scattered on the ground, the page anything but bare She was little and free spirited Those crayons were way more than what they painted They meant hope that one day She would grow up and say “where are my crayons? I need to put them back where they […]
To us all
Time and chance are two lovers fated by will to be Between hail and storm, thick and thin Even if Priority an ever prompt sir Tries turbulence to stir But Fate the never wrong very wise sister Had already written their wonderful chapter And when events the callous and fair maiden Had had an affair […]
Leonardo’s hands
Wedding bells you see Rang so loud this morning Open up those doors Let her walk in slow Everyone watches as her face glows There she is. My wife by tomorrow I loved her She loved me What was left But then just as she walked in to Celine’s my heart will go on, I […]
A hand written note
So I received a letter today. It read “Dear baby girl, I’ve known you since the day you set your eyes on that hospital wall and I’ve watched you ever since. Youve been the best kind of your beautiful you should be. You’ve made mistakes and that only makes you human and wiser. You’ve learnt […]

If only you knew I stare at my phone in the mornings waiting for a message. I stay awake late into the night waiting for a response. Day and night I waited All hope deflated If only you knew Your sight makes my step falter Your smiles makes my chest flutter But there’s one at […]
Hey I miss you,

Number 1
My Darling baby girl do not be worried about anything. For sure you will find the boy who would make you smile all the time even when you’re mad at him. You may find him when you’re way over 20 but don’t regret because when you do you’ll smile till you’re 80. Then you’ll feel […]
Did you see the sunrise
“Did you see the sunrise this morning” he asked. She giggled and said yes. Of course she did. She lived for the little things. He went on to describe what he saw. It was beautiful for my window. “There was a tree standing alone in the field. Very beautiful but of course it did not […]
