CELEBRATIONS

CELEBRATION TIME

A time of celebration

A special family time,

Laughter and sweet music

Bubbles in the wine.

Flowers wrapped in paper

And tied with ribbons too,

Parents counting their blessings ~

Such happy days for you.

Chocolates in a beautiful box,

All layered and neatly placed

Some with nuts and fondant

Bringing a smile to your face.

Strawberry and peppermint crème

Turkish delight so sweet,

A family in celebration

Almost dancing in the Street.

May your life together be like this,

A sweet and true delight

May your life be happy

And all your days be bright.

I wish you chocolate days

And days when you can shine,

May your days together be sparkling

Like the bubbles in the wine.

TALK TO ME.

TALK TO ME

Talk to me and tell me

The things that mean so much,

A smile, a kiss, a sweet perfume ~

A special tender touch.

The sweetest words of a love song,

A glance across a room.

The crunch of autumn leaves

And memory’s wistful tune.

The velvet skin of a new born

With that sweet sweet baby smell.

The feel of soft and downy hair ~

I know these things so well.

Tell me of the many things

That bring such joy to you. ~

The memory of holidays

And the things you used to do.

A hot and steamy shower

With water on your head,

Soup smells from a kitchen

And crusty home made bread.

Discussions and debates

Opinions well respected.

Oh the special feeling

Of just being accepted.

Candlelight and music

A dinner and sweet wine

Words long ago spoken

Which still in heart are mine.

Talk to me and tell me

The things that mean so much

I remember so many things

Of life’s tender touch.
