Night

 Nighttime fills me with wandering thoughts all so strange and never sure,

Where will it end, 

I hope for sleep, yet sleep eludes me

Filling me up instead with dread 

Oh the joys of getting older..

 

 

 My husband and I would like to find out more about our DNA so this was written to celebrate his birthday and in hopes of finding out more...

Inside myself I’d like to be

to get to know a better me,

athough the ME I am today,

is enough for me-

I have to say,

I would know more,

of whence I came,

to find out just how far I came,

from far flung continents or nearby

towns, have I moved at all

or just stayed around?

Would knowing change who I am,

of course not, yet it would be grand

to find out just how much I am,

related to my fellow man!

Essential

Time is of the essence

don’t you know-

it flitters and glitters around

making you think

there is plenty abound..

TIME is of the essence

it runs and spills

with no worry no woe,

till one day you know -

TIME is of the ESSENCE..

live for today a cliché you might say,

yet when you live for tomorrow-

time was of the essence, and

it flitters away till tomorrow

is no longer

 a day...

This started out as a class project, write a short poem entitled "things I like".. well I couldn't resist trying it out myself..although it has been edited..

things I like

the smell of the sea

as we

listen to the waves

drinking

hot coffee on a cold winter's day

while 

a baby laughs

eating 

the last piece of chocolate

with the 

wind in the trees

time will tell

when you are young time never moves,
it often d r a g s its feet
you find yourself glancing at the clock...tick.......tock.....t..i..c..k
but as you get older time seems to move
on a pair of wings..flying  faster and higher...
and before you can think or blink...
the years have passed..where did they go..
yet I do not begrudge the fact that time has flown
for with it I know that I have grown,
grown into who I am and all I know,
I have to thank- TIME...for in its wisdom and through it all..
time
will tell me all...

night sky

The night holds no fear,
                                           crisp air,                                                                bristling leaves..
                                                                                  
                                                                                      being held
                                                                                                              by you...

enough for today

In my present state I have to say..

love me, for who I am

remember me for who I was

and never forget to be who you really are..

life is too short for ifs and buts..

live your life today

for soon it may be taken away...

then you will see -

nothing is as bad as it may have seemed...

I love you for what you are and

what we do today-

is more then enough for yesterday...

Five

five years today my love,
five years since we first met.
could we have guessed what was to come..
five years of no regrets..a beautiful girl, a loving man,
oh time did fly...and here we are
five years today my love.
who knows what's to come in the next 5 + 5
but if I'm with you my love..what's 5+5+5.............
