Special days happen
Because people take time
To make them so
Senryu
I enjoyed a very special birthday today because so many people took the time to make it so for me. My family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances all shared their wishes in some way to make the day great, and for that I am feeling especially grateful and blessed!

Tiny “Love Rock”

Today I was blessed to find a “Love Rock” at just the right time to brighten up my day.
If you have never heard of “Love Rocks” I invite you to check out their website at www.loverocks.org where you can read the heart touching story of how and why “Love Rocks” started and perhaps you might want to participate in sharing the love as well.

Beautiful birthday gift
On my special day
Though life has it’s ups and downs
I am thankful I was born

This Sweet Sixteen poem was written for my other grand-daughter who is turning 16 soon.
I am going to use this for her birthday card.
This is my first time using the Minute form and it was quite a challenge because of the rhyme and syllable count.
I don’t know why it is called “Minute” poem! It certainly took me more than a minute to write this poem! 🙂

A special day to
Honor the memory of

Every October 29 is National Cat Day
On this day, in the morn,
Fourty short years ago,
A tiny child was born.
On this day in the morn,
The title Mom was first worn,
And I was all aglow,
On this day in the morn,
Fourty short years ago.

September 21, 1973,
Was quite a special day for me.
It was a day like no other,
For that’s when I first became a mother.
