Who Am I ?

I am always surrounded by many books.
I have letters and decimals in my day.
I am here to happily help one who looks.
I am always surrounded by many books.
Very often I meet readers, writers and cooks.
I love what I’m doing. I want to stay.
I am always surrounded by many books.
I have letters and decimals in my day.

On This 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.
Triolet

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.

Independence Eve

Independence Eve,
A time to reflect,
Upon all the freedoms we receive.
Independence Eve,
A time to stand for what we believe,
And our liberties to protect.
Independence Eve,
A time to reflect.
