Be Thankful

Blessed to be here with health and cheer
Everyday coming and so far this year

Trees and nature all around us
Heat and the summer, beyond what I can express
All the great people around who made everything fun
Never a dull moment as each day begun
Knowing new friends and little more about me
For when you love yourself, a new world you see
Understanding all little moments make life bright and complete
Love you all for joining us and giving us a big “treat”!!

Inspire

Every day is a mountain

Be willing to climb

Every day is an ocean

Go ahead and take a dive

Every day has open skies

Feel the wind and soar away

When things get down and low

Get back up there is another day !

Limerick fun..my first one

All I want is to have some fun in life
Try doing it when you are playing mother and wife !
But I am getting older too you see
I have little time on hands when I am free
So I am moving and not idling away in grief !

12 and counting

I think back to the first day we met
Not sure what we were getting into yet
We took a leap of faith anyways
Though we still wonder about it some days

Life has been fast,with ups and downs for sure
But nothing more than what we can endure
Two kids ,three dogs and two moves later
Life taught us lessons,none too small or greater 

Twelve years and eight thousand miles we have come
Sleepless nights,birthdays, greying hairs  and carpools are just some
There are million more sleepless nights and zillion laughs more to share
 There will be some wars and tears, but we got to hang in there

 As long as we have each others back we have nothing to fear
 Sometimes we will turn against each other,but that is normal my dear
 Kids will one day grow their wings and fly out of the nest
Until then we need to play tough and then we get to rest 

Cheers to many more years and more battles to be won
Some with traffic,homework and tests and some just for fun
But we will get through these slowly and steadily, but as we get there
Thankfully we have each other to help prepare !

Little Miss Sunshine

A poem to tell you all about my daughter
I do not know of any one more sweeter
She was born in the month of July
Sent us to cloud nine in the sky.

She was shy, polite and loved to learn
Did something new every step and turn
Before we realized ,she was all big and strong
The journey to turn one didn’t take very long.

She loved puzzles and to read books
But she was fussy eater no matter what was cooked
She had a great voice and loved to sing
She sounded like a gentle breeze in spring

Year two was just as much fun
Just as curious to get new things done
She loved the playscape and the swings
Went high up in the air like she had wings

She had a lot of friends, some of them best
She stuck with a few but always friends with the rest
She was growing up and was ready for the next big day
Pretty soon it was time for another birthday

Year three was all about games and fun
Skipping and hopping, playing in the sun
She was big sister, baby brother came along
Not a happy camper,until he could follow her around

She loved to read with mom every night
Without a book there was no sleeping tight
Favorites were far too many
Most favorites had stories of Piglet and Winnie

Year 4 marked the first year of school
She enjoyed it every bit, she liked to play it cool
Teacher’s pet , and always stuck to the rules
Learnt some ballet and swimming in the pool

She still loves to swim ,it is her favorite sport
One day she will be in the Olympics, you watch out
Her favorite teachers were all of them around
They were all super cool, and never let her frown

Year five, was a great year with a good start
Kindergarten made her doubly smart
Miss Amy was the sweetest soul
She won a gold medal in the opinion poll

Audrey and Daksha were two peas in a pod
You asked one and the other would nod
They were best friends forever and still are
But since we moved, they live too far

Year six, was all about being in first grade
She was in good hands, not one bit scared
Did her homework but didn’t finish lunch
Mom was upset and worried a whole bunch

Year seven, was exciting in a new school
A J Whittenberg was way too cool
An Engineering school, a class apart
Lego robotics , news show and art

She loved to research and write her own script
The team worked together and were always equipped
Miss Dye was her most favorite person in the world
With her a whole new journey unfurled

Year eight moved her to Texas
Left behind friends who were going to miss us
But she made new friends in Stanley who were fun
A new world opened and a new chapter begun

There was lots to learn, lot of new rules
Things didn’t go great, but she kept her cool
In a few months, life was back on track
Off to school she went everyday with her red rocket backpack

Here were are already at year nine ,so fast it all went by
She is in fourth grade already ,my oh my
Mrs Schmitt and Mrs Hoelzel , you make learning fun
I know she dreaming sometimes, but it is just her you will learn

Fourth grade has been super fun to ride
At the end of the year, she will be your joy and pride
She will be ready for the next year in the next grade soon
Phew !! Thankfully that is not until next June …

Our Mister Superhero

A poem to tell you about my son
I don’t know of anybody more fun
He was born in the month of October
Player four to bring our family together

Year one was a lot of sleepless nights
But he was mom’s soldier and brave knight
All he did was try to learn
Something new every step or turn

Year two was all about trucks or cars
Bumps and boo boos,bandaids and scars
Shoes with lights were his favorites
A patch over his eye,pretending to be pirate

Year three he took giant steps ahead
Learning his numbers and alphabet he read
Playing Diego and rescue were his mission
Helping animals endangered were his ambition


Year four started more colorful as it did
He was into art ,did pretty good for a kid
He had a lot of friends wherever he went
Running and playing ,that is how time was spent

Year five was a big year indeed
He moved to Texas, life was like a stampede
He did pretty well and had his big birthday
Transformer cake,Lego and friends to play

Year six has been splendid so far
Kindergarten has made him smarter ,he is a superstar
Miss Wolfe has made learning so much fun
Something new to learn as everyday begun

Soon it will be Year seven and he will move on
But life in Stanley is indeed super fun
New adventures will come as a new year unfolds
For now he is enjoying his ride,lo and behold

Child's prayer

This Christmas there is nothing I need
No cars,trucks or dolls under my tree
All I want is a world filled with peace
God oh God won’t you help me please!!

This Christmas ,I want my friends to come back
All those who were taken away by the bad man’s attack
All I want is a world filled with peace
God Oh God won’t you help me please!!

This Christmas I want everything to be as it was
Fun spirit ,love and wait for Santa Claus
All I want is a world filled with peace
God Oh God won’t you help me please !!

I hope the new year will bring good spirit ahead
I will share my love and laughter,I have plenty to spread
All I want is a world filled with peace
God Oh God won’t you help me please !!

I hope there is a better tomorrow for me
With no guns,bad men or horror to see
All I want is a world filled with peace
God Oh God won’t you help me please !!

A Bottomless cup of love

This is a special season for warmth and love
Got a cup of hugs, filled all the way above
... Thought I would share the cup with you
But that is not all, there is more coming through

I love you the same everyday and night
A warm wish I send, so you can sleep tight
Some days start with hugs, and some days not
Some days I said “Love you” and some days I forgot

I care for you like you were my heart
I keep you there, as every new day starts
Remember we love you for what you are not what you do
You make us proud, with everything old and new

Share love, be grateful and spread a lot cheer
Be good, be tough and you have nothing to fear
Show you care and listen to your heart
These are virtues that will set you apart

Let the New Year start with new goals and dreams
We get on a new ride now and test new extremes
But it will be worth the ride, trust me my dears
Mom and Dad will always stick around, to catch all your tears

So keep moving and play a new set of games
Life is worth it, only if you set new aims
We will stick by you because we love you a lot
Don’t be afraid to use the lessons this year taught.

A New start

Warm seasonal wishes from our home to you
For a splendid and amazing New Year too
May the New Year bring all the things right and bright
With joy and cheer ,happy days that add all the delight


Let each day start with warm sunshine and good cheer
May the magic last all twelve months of next year
Welcome the new year with matchless spirit
Find the true meaning of each day and what is in it
...

You are all special to us in all different ways
We think of you this season ,in our hearts you stay
We wish you all a great New Year ahead
2013 will bring tons of joy ,some to keep and to spread !
