THANKSGIVING

Sitting here alone this thanksgiving. Bored with nothing to do. Just wandering around aimlessly. Not really looking, not really concentrating and then I found it. Staring at me like an open invitation. The warm smile calling me. Wow, I was intrigged. Looked and saw that the lights were out and nobody was home. Still felt it was worth taking the shot and said my hellos anyways. Then I heard a response. A southern voice flowed from the smile. It was indeed warm and inviting just as I had felt. Then before you know it, the seconds turn to minutes, the minutes turn to hours and the day had gone from light to dark. Where did the day go? It was lost in the conversation where time didnt seem to exist. What a great feeling that time seemed to stand still. Here I was at the start of the day thinking what should I be thankful for? Little did I know that I found my reasons staring at me this lonely Thanksgiving Day.

THE APPLE OF MY EYE

How a life gets changed in an instant. Ten years ago you came into my life! I was so proud so full of joy! The months of anticipation had given way to the moment. Still didn't know what was coming. Eagerly waiting and watching then the moment came when you appeared. Seeing the beautiful face as tears of joy rolled down my eyes. I watched in anticipation wanting to know who was about to step into my life. There you were with eyes wide open staring out to the world intriged with the world around you! Heard your voice, I knew you were ok and I stayed comforted the one that brought you. I still remember that day vividly and will never forget it for it is the day you changed my life forever. The moment that you came into my life! Oh how I wish I was there with you now but I know it's not possible. The fate of life. How I long to hold you and be with you! Soon I shall hold you again! Happy Birthday to you, the apple of my eye!
