Her Very Special Day

In a land far away

A sassy little girl

Lived

She was so sad

Because no one wanted to play with her

Then

One day she became ill

She was sick for days

Coughing, sneezing and feeling so very tired

She felt like she was going to die

Then

Suddenly

On December 22 she open her eyes and smiled

And all

Was well again

She had just forgotten

To smile on her birthday

Now

Today

She remembers

What she had forgotten

The sky above her is now

A happy shade of blue

Again

The sun and the moon are holding hands

Again

Because

The little girl has remembered to smile

Making everything in the universe right

Again

Because her Birthday

is

Avery special day to smile

An Angel Got Her Wings

     

As I strode

Down

The avenue parkway

Yesterday

I saw you coming my way

Walking

The avenue as it was a cat walk

Smiling

Laughing

And

Taking in

The many sweet fragrances

Coming your way

The wind stopped

To let you walk the avenue

As you were passing

I notice purple wings

Peeking

Through your pink lace princess dress

And a smiling hello kitty doll

On your right hand

Holding a daisy

I then heard you whisper

Telling me and the world

That

You are three now

And going to dance class

Because

You got your wings

Going Crazy

Have you ever had a word or a phrase

In your head

And

Not be able to get it out of your mind

It’s like having an insect

Flying in and out

Between your ears

Making a buzzing sound

Driving you crazy

While

You are sitting there

Your head throbbing

Wishing

You could yank it out

Tearing it out

From its roots

And

Flashing it down the drain

With a smile on your face

As it disappears into the abyss

Dance and Live

Movement

Is

The voice of the soul

See

Listen

Take part in the movement of the universe

Let your soul move to the beat of your heart

Come

Move to the music of the soul

As it pushes the envelope that is your body

Without dance

Without movement

Your body

Your soul

Dies

So get up

Move

Dance to the colors of the rainbow

Dance to the fluttering feathers of a humming bird

See

Feel the music in your heart

The poetry of your body

As it moves through the clouds in the sky

Get up

Move

Feel the poetry in your body doing a happy dance

Dance is life

And life is movement

And

 Movement is the voice of the soul

Early in the Morning

Birthdays

Are like looking at a mirror

In the morning

It’s a little scary

Looking at yourself

Early in the morning

Through a haze

But

Just remember

You can always wipe

The haze off with a terry cloth

Allowing

You to look and feel 20 years younger

Instead of 20 years older

So happy birthday

And

Stop counting wrinkles and grey hair

Because

It’s hard to count past 10 at your age
