an everlasting dance

May 13, 2017 – Graduation

embraced by a melody…

consumed by a rhythm…

I reach beyond my present

and

wrap my arms

around

the memories of the past…

kisses from mimz

I keep tossing kisses into the wind ~

in hopes they reach their intended target ~ ~ 

landing softly upon

the precious cheeks

I have kissed

since

day

one…

…no boundaries…

each time I look into their eyes,

I fall deeper in love ~ ~

as if I could love them

even more

than I already do…..

but

I always do.

~ inner fire ~

each burning brighter

aspiring to go farther

goals are limitless

sidelines

 

I miss the sidelines of yesteryear ~

when time and space existed in unison ~

as each moment unfolded

and

our dreams embraced.

 

 

Now,

the passage of time and distance have altered these lines.

 

You have taken flight

~ chasing angels ~

whose beacons flash the promises of dreams.

 

&

 

I stand here

~ quietly ~

as my patience longingly awaits

~ words ~

to scroll……. across……. a……. screen…….

 

 

my visionary

*

behind the scenes is his spotlight ~

where he brings his visions to life…

where his mind can run wild

amongst

a vast realm of possibilities

and

dreams ~

bringing impossibilities to light…

*

*

this would be my boy

*

*

one more step

~

~

it seems like only yesterday

when

i brought him into this world

~ now ~

he is one step closer

to conquering it.

~

~

once upon a time…

*

i remember when Power Rangers ruled the world

and

light sabers were the toy of choice ~

*

Batman socks were not allowed to be washed

and

Darth Vader capes had to be worn.

*

hours were spent on the couch watching Star Wars

~ every movie ~

chapters one through six

and

we could never get enough of a T-Rex

eating everything in its midst.

*

~ now ~

it is about fantasy football,

college entrance exams

and

apps to download,

making some bucks

to buy some stuff

and

typing texts to friends upon friends.

*

*

yesterday,

he was my little baby ~

almost 9 lbs of sweet and cuddly coos

with barely a hair on his head,

chunky little cheeks

and

two eyes full of baby blue.

*

today,

he is 5′-11″,

long and lean with an athlete’s build,

two eyes of hazel,

muscular, hairy legs

and

in possession of some serious cooking skills.

*

I keep wondering when and how this all happened,

17 years

have come and gone,

but

what I do know for certain

is I could not be more proud,

of my baby boy

and

what he has become….

*

once upon a very long time……

*

in the beginning…

*

in cooking form – fave shorts, shirt, socks…

*

Mr. Professional….

*

Happy Birthday Peyton!

My Little Man

~ Forever ~
