I should be writing my articles instead of blogging, so this will be short. I’m connected again, so I’ll be posting regularly.
I turned 45 today.
I had the joy of taking my daughter to get her very first pointe shoes this afternoon. What a blessing.


I guess that’s all for now.

Happy Birthday!!!
Happy birthday, sis! I’m trying hard to catch up with you Love you!
I suck…I forgot your birthday. I’m so sorry. I love you. ~Me
I did not realize we shared the same birth month, separated by a mere 38 years. Happy birthday and waiting for the next dance in the waning evening light.

You do NOT suck. You were miserable yesterday. I thought of you all day and have been thinking of you pretty much all the time. I love you, Boo. I wish I could take away your pain.

I can’t wait.
When the wind of winter
Swirls the snow
Beyond my window sill
Then you and I will dance
My love
In each other we will thrill
Papa

When winter breezes gently blow
And stir the southern air
I’ll listen for the music
As it calls from everywhere
And though the bitter cold won’t come
To chill this Lady Blue
My heart will sing as once again
I dance to thoughts of you
Ah, but behold the beauty
As light on snow doth shine
When ice forms a million prisms
And I recall when you were mine.
If but only for a moment
While we flew on fragile wings
With fingers gently touching
Our souls relieved of other things
Papa

My heart grows faint to hear you say
It once belonged to you
As though it could be stolen
By what time might deftly do
I’m unable to imagine
There could ever turn a year
When my soul would cease its longing
For a waltz with you, my dear
I did not mean I might have lost you
But time and distance takes its toll
As when we look not at our savior
And loose the music in our soul.
We grew concerned with other missions
Said not “I love you” as before
‘Til as the raven in the sonnet
We uttered sighs of “Ever More”
There has been an empty longing
A missing flavor in my stew
Ah, but now I’ve found the secret
‘Twas the lovely Lady Blue.
Papa
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lisa!!!! You don’t look a day over 29!!!!

My dear man, I have to tell you
That I am quite relieved
You know I’d never wander
As I feared you once believed
We have far too much holding us
To ever risk the chance
Of getting separated
As we carry on our dance
So tango on, beloved,
While I am here with you
And you will be my poet-knight
And I your Lady Blue
In the press of other issues
You have brought a ray of hope
Which creates a glowing sunbeam
So that with life I now can cope.
I have seen lives that have been wasted
Dreams of others come to naught
While you remain a vision
Of the joy that love has wrought
So wait for me just yonder
By the breakers on the sands
And I will join you late this even’
Where I will feel your tender hands
Papa
I’ve watched that child of yours grow up in pictures over the years. Wow! She gets more beautiful every new pic … and toe shoes. That’s amazing. I’m lucky to make it through the day without tripping over my own feet only a couple of times.
That makes my feet hurt to look at those! Happy belated birthday.
Happy Birthday! Love you, my darlin’ heart! *hugs*
(makes my toes hurt too. lol)
