morning promisesLittle Red Hydrant
Running I pass a
Little red hydrant all painted new.
I think to myself, how many you save,
so important are you !

Silence
In silence from the gentle breeze
Solemnity found among the verdant green
As cool spring rain falls on the day to remember .

Birthday
A candle on her favorite food
Lit on this her 10th year passing
I sit and wonder in the quiet moment
No birthday song to wish a lasting
Wishes for the future gone
As the days have passed quickly
And you are not here to belong
At this table of celebration
Yet it is for you and only you
Leaving loved ones with their own
deliberation.

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
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.
