Birthday Stack
Birthday Stack

The stack went high
So high in the sky
The candles glowed
And went on and on
The special way
I started my day
With Mom and Dad
And siblings too
The glitter and gleam
Reflected in me
As the dreams for the day
Go as far as I can see.©️ CMM 2021

I ran this morning
On ice and snow
The trees glisten
The ice fairies glow
I hear the geese
Sound celebration
The storm is gone
Now jubilation
As I crunched
My shoes as I run
I looked up to see
A heart shaped sun

Embers

A Day to remember
In winter’s dark embers
With the cold at your feet.
A saint in the past
Made sure love would last
So now we give roses and sweets.

Mia

She came to be
She sits to know
Her purpose true
As she shall grow
Into a mistress
Of many hearts
She is her own…

Hand Me Downs

I was the one who they called the knee baby.
Not sure why , I am the one in the cap,
I stood as tall as the rest of my siblings.
I always had an impish smile; they said.
Worn out pants handed down by someone.
I never knew we were not rich.
My Grandparents never ‘let on.’
