Your Birthday
A Decade Later
You were beautiful the day you were born
You taught me to be a mother
You always smiled at me with that incredible grin
You kindness and love towards others was what you were known for
You loved children
You loved your Mom
You loved your fellow man
You loved your country
You loved your brother
You loved your niece and nephew
Your loved your step-daughter
You were kind beyond comprehension
You were a joy to me and everyone that knew you
Why a gunman took your life I will never understand
God gave you to me, my special gift
You have been gone a decade now
Happy Birthday My Precious Son
I miss you every day

After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.
