My family

To my Family, Christmas 2008

To all my family I love and hold so close and dear,
When we stand together we have nothing to fear.
So here is something to open and keep us all near,
and remind you of our love all through out the year.

Only wanting the best for you each and everyday,
plus good health and lot's of time to rest and play .
Please know I love you more then I could ever say,
and cherish the time's that you can come and stay.

If you count your family as blessing, than I have a lot.
Other's could only wish to have the special family I got.
So feel the sincerity in this gift of memories and thought
and know that it is something that could never be bought.

Your not so secret admirer, Julie



My first draft's of my individual poems I am giving.

Mother dear,

Mother dear your love is bright
 blinding the world with your light.

Thank you for all you have given,
 and showing me that love is driven.

Life may limit are time with eachother.
 But know I value you above all the other's.

You have already given me a gift,
 one of love that give's my heart a lift.

So whenever you miss us and want us to be close
  Read this gift and remember who love's you most.

Your loving Daughter, Julie

Goonie grandma who we love the most,
  We love her and give her a warm rich toast.

We use you as an example of what we can do,
 remembering  the first sacrifice's came from you.

We may stumble on words and lack for time,
 but be assured that you are alway's on our mind.

So if you ever feel alone and far away,
 open this Box and remember us today.

We give you this token from us, of our love,
 always' remembering to thank the lord above.

We love you and think of you every day,
 and we will never be more than a call away.

Your Daughter Julie.

Beautiful write Julie

You did a great job on this Double D! I loved the rhyme scheme. It would have been perfect is you could have come up with a complete rhyme scheme on the last stanza to match the first two stanza schemes, but all in all very good and especially heartfelt to and for your family. Fine work my friend. Respectfully, Rett: "The people of America must really like idiots, look at EVERYONE in Washington." Rett

*L* My kids gave me one years ago

that I used for many years. Old Codger or OC for short. My youngest son, all 6'4" of him either calls me dad or will lay his arm down on all 5'8" of me and say "Hi Paw". Told him one day if he didn't quit that I was gonna punch his kneecaps off! Sounds like a good plan on the Christmas poems Double D. From the heart my friend.

wow

Your expression is so clear and yet so wonderfully simple. Your love is so powerful it shows in all your work. It would be a true honor to express love half as well as you.
