Angel Of Mine

Your hands once so tiny
my own could wrap around them
now at 18 they are still small
slender and graceful

You are so petite
as I once was at your tender age
and your voice fills my ears
a certain music, unlike any other

when you laugh
my heart skips a beat
and the world seems warmer

Your heart is full of wonder
and your dreams bigger than the sky
as they should be and as I pray they
always shall be

Your spirit is like a wild stallion
embracing your new found freedom like
the moon embraces the earth

Such a glorious light you are
as you shine upon those around you
you are the miracle in my life
and the keeper of my heart and soul.

Angel of mine
from the Heavens you were born
and every day you awaken in me
forgotten parts of myself and bring to life
that which I was not even aware existed or could
exist within me.

Angel of mine
I love you with a passion
that nothing else could ever
compare to.

always,
your mama

Fathers Day

Today we honor the men in our lives
that know that there is more to being a father
then just a biological tie

It is unconditional love
it is strength, gentleness,compassion
it is the willingness to teach and to learn
to be a friend and mentor

It is having a gentle heart
yet powerful soul
understanding the importance of tenderness
of respect and honor

It is knowing when someone calls you "Dad"
it is a blessing , never a burden
it is a gift to win the heart of a child
it is an eternal circle
the heart within the man
the heart within the child
no matter the age nor circumstance

Today we honor the men in our lives
who stand proud and strong
and whom we cherish for their constant presence
making our lives so much richer
Happy Fathers Day to all of you.
