Wishes

 
We don't say much
When we're around each other
I wish you'd tell me
How you feel
We do so much
Dancing around each other
Won't you reach out
And pull me in

So many things I wish you'd say
So much I would change

Do you know how much
I really love you
I wish I knew
How to show you more
I do so much
Thinking about you
But keep to myself
What am I waiting for

So many things that I should say
So much I would change

If I Were a Flower . . .

 

If I were a flower,
I would be  a red tulip
with a strong stem,
firmly rooted,
that never breaks
 when blown by the wind.
The thick red petals would protect
my innermost being
 and point upward
 toward the source
 of my strength.

Borrowed from Jorge's Space . . . with gratitude . . .

 

The Summer Day
(with gratitude to Holy)

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean-
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

rope's end

 
this bitter thread
she hangs on to
sometimes it's all
she can do
and she prays
for light to come
come what may
save her from 
this dark valley
this black dream
suffocating hope
within

Lil Miss Monroe . . .

 
Warning . . . another grandma story is about to unfold . . .
 
My granddaughter, Maddy, is nineteen months old now and is pure energy in motion. She walks, talks, climbs, and jumps, never pausing for a moment until she finally has worn herself (and her grandparents) out at the end of the day. And as this pint-sized whirlwind makes her way from one activity to the next, nothing gets in her way except . . . when she comes upon a heating/air vent in the floor. She is afraid of air vents and refuses to walk on them. So whenever a vent crosses her path, Maddy stops and contemplates on how she will get around this scary obstacle without stepping on it.  
 
So the other day, we dressed her in her white summer dress with little flowers and a butterfly on the front and took her to visit her great grandparents in Virginia. She was running through the house, playing and chatting away as usual, when suddenly, she ran into a notorious vent. She stopped immediately and stood there in silence as if she were deciding just how to cross this barrier to her next destination.
 
This was when Maddy had her Marilyn Monroe moment. As she stood there thinking about what to do, the air kicked on and came rushing up out of the vent, blowing her dress up with the current. She stood there in surprise for a moment and then decided she liked this new game and began laughing and patting at her dress trying to hold it down. Afterwards she kept running up to the vent, waiting for the air to lift her dress and seemed a bit disappointed after the air kicked off and nothing happened.
 
Anyway, we've been calling her "Lil Miss Monroe" ever since. It was cute, and I thought I share my grandma moment with you . . .

Public Enemies . . .

Finally had time to see the latest Depp flick and I'm happy to say was not disappointed . . . Public Enemies was an intense mixture of action and romance woven into an interesting film . . . and of course . . . Depp is as hot as ever . . . Like fine wine, he just seems to get better and better with age . . .

In Memoriam . . .

Sometimes . . . often . . . I think of you
Gone to that place where mercy dwells
As I gaze into nights starless or bright
And wonder what you see
Do you see me? Do you see these tears?
Rambling, remembering, hurting inside
As my heart paints a memory portrait of you
Wishing to relive all those years 
Even regrets amidst the smiles
As days tiptoed in then quietly dashed 
Away with our dreams 
And there is so much that I would say 
And many things I would take back, too
If there were just one more day to spend . . . together.

Say Won't You Say . . .

 
Say won't you say
Say that you love me
With love ever love
Love everlasting?
All my devotion
Put into motion by you

Every morning I
Have a chance to rise
And give my all
But every afternoon I find
I have only wasted time
In light of you
Isn't love amazing
I forgot how to speak
Knowing you are near
And I am finally free

 

Say won't you say
Say that you love me
With love ever love
Love everlasting?
All my devotion
Put into motion by you

My eyes fear to close
This reckless letting go
Is so hard to bear
On the edge of all I need
Still I cling to what I see
And what have I there?
Bred my own disaster
Who have I to blame?
When all I need is waiting
To be fanned to flame
 
Say won't you say
Say that you love me
With love ever love
Love everlasting?
All my devotion
Put into motion by you

I opened up my eyes
To see you standing there
Oh I can barely breathe
And I can hardly bear
All the love that I
Feel for you inside
I hope you feel it now
Some somehow
 
Say won't you say
Say that you love me
With love ever love
Love everlasting?
All my devotion
Put into motion by you
 
Say won't you say
Say that you love me
With love ever love
Love everlasting?
All my devotion
Put into motion by you
