Always
There’s an angel On my tree My Joshua You’ll always be; Greatly missed And deeply remembered …Always… Not just in December; In my heart I’ll carry you This holiday And the whole year through

Transparent
A transparent soul Allows others to see Their truth In lost battles and victories; Stories and memories Etched into place Life’s struggles and triumphs Intricately laced; Into a pattern Uniquely designed On each soul’s face Are smile and frown lines; Honed by time And polished by grace A transparent soul Becomes a cherished keepsake
WORDS
Comfort in a time of need Encouragement when hope has fleed; Truth even when it hurts Lies in search of new converts; Enrichment for the mind Fantasy that’s fun to find; Spoken through loose lips Written with pen tips; Read before bed Unspoken inside our head; WORDS hold the power To delight or devour

Two
Two Is so much better than one; Able to share Makes it twice the fun. Side by side With no regrets; Quick to forgive And ready to forget. Partners in crime Through the adventurous times; A shoulder to lean on Just when each needs one. A team for life Together they’ll become; Two Is so much… Read More Two
Trick or Treat
When the sun has set Your fate you’ll have met As careful hands hone An expression all your own; Newly carved Your true face takes shape As the light escapes From your hollowed-out space; Peering back at me What will I see? A trick or a treat… Something sweet or scary?
