Lotus for beloved Friend

 





Joyous Day Marlyn


What a joyous note to read

Facebook does its finest task

telling us that this grand date

sings a song lovely at last


In is a tune filled so lovingly

with a melody that Marlyn is you

a wonder that has graced our lives

with an embracing point of view


We wish you that this grand day

rewards the present given to you

a love and knowledge seeking soul

wonderful & varied as the ocean blue



You know when we think of you

our hearts and mind do smile

for your aura glows with compassion

Like the lotus in my window


Thank you for the gift you give

you work so hard to pass on to others

with affection, open ears & heart you bless

each Sister Father Mother Brother


May you celebrate this natal day

and it be the first picture dear

that will capture a healthy, golden

goodness shine in your own new year


With love from heart and hands

Happy Birthday Marlyn

Unique in all the world

may stars, moon and sun always

shine inside your loving heart

♥

Love, Jim & Chuck

  Alma, Nourishing Soul ♥ I began reading Lawrence Durrell’s memories of his life on Corfu before WWII Fascists crucified Europe His first full day there unfolded on the rocky, spring green day the savory smell of olive tree salt air the day was 27 April in 1937 My mind flew from the Aegean Sea to Choptank/Chesapeake Bay shores 7800 miles to a lovely farm in flat greening Goldsboro, Maryland Alma, my sister born to spend Her first full day A crazy connection maybe the enchantment a present a decade before my birth that month the beauty of that enchanted Grecian Isle as lovely to me as her birth the first for Frederick and Maud for Alma, big sister nourished us four younger ones with waters sweet as milk and treats jolly as green olives Such a sweet life she gave to all who touched her heart the loving white hound an angel guides her spirit heavenward to always answer our prayers ♥ With thankful love, ...
