Preoccupied

Preoccupied
let us monitor our thoughts
for its often or not
we will find ourselves
preoccupied
is it what we woke up with?
is it what we’ve left undone?
is it the chaos around us?
is it simply the sum?
precious is the child’s way
ne’er a worry, just play
yes to the focus
of having fun each day

Dear Cousin

Dear Cousin
dear cousin of mine
our journeys now shared
we didn’t realize
until compared
how similar we are
the challenges of motherhood
the never giving up
the determination to find the answers
the love – so much love
the surviving
the delight of rebellion
against the status quo
the creation of beauty
and watching it grow
the sense of adventure
the wanting to belong
the strength of composure
that quiet inner song
let us grow this connection
of family intertwined
and give thanks to generational
love that’s combined

A Father’s Message

A Father’s Message
dear child of mine
beloved one
you are a part of me
created thru passion and love
and you will always be
that part of me
i am here
to love and support
to cherish and celebrate
your own journey
it is a journey shared
and can not be compared
to the times before
our resonance
our love
is the deepest form
of vibrational communication
felt by all senses
let us begin
that journey from within
and share
all that we are
Te Amo
