You share with me life's simple joys
Your smile, your laughter better still
The way you are with our beamish boys,
indulging them against your will
A long days work and still you find
the patience to coach, to teach, to guide
Sometimes firm, but always kind
Helping them grow with every stride
Homework or fishing, a long weekend hike
without hesitation you're father and friend
Drying their tears when they fall from their bike,
reassuring so they try it again.
You apologize for what we don't have
and my heart aches that you can't see
The most wonderful gift that you can give
is everything that you are to me.
Even just this thought of you
can still make my heart skip it's beat.
You still take my breath away
you make my very life complete

Poetry: Wonderful
by Earl Demott
Melissa you are wonderful,
and though we were less than fifty steps away,
sitting in our cubicles,
reading our texts,
erasing
Wonderful.
I feel wonderful,
waking with the
tangerine sky.
Each day,
I am welcomed
by the comfort
in your eyes;
the warmth

You share with me life's simple joys
Your smile, your laughter better still
The way you are with our beamish boys,
indulging
I stand in awe, by the waterfall,
cascading down like endless rain.
It fills the thirsty waiting pool,
and heals my aching
by Irfan Shah

Little thing, you are new on earth
Have stilled the night and made us holy
We have become silent, shuffling satellites
