A good man is noble
In every which way.
He’s kind and he’s generous
Day after day.
A good man is smart,
And he truly is wise.
You can tell what he knows
By the light in his eyes.
A good man is joyful.
He laughs frequently.
Yet he also works hard
For his dear family.
Well, I know a man
Who is all of these things.
A great man who, in my eyes,
Could stand among kings.
For a great man is rare
Among plain good and bad.
And the greatest I know
Is the man I call Dad.
Happy Birthday to my amazing dad! Thank you for being such a great influence in my life! I love you!

If you write a melody
Gentle and sweet,
I’ll write the lyrics
To go with the beat.
Such beautiful music,
The notes you compose.
It touches my heart
When I hear how it flows.
The lyrics I write
Must live up to your sound,
With rhymes about love
And the joy we have found.
So write me a tune
And I’ll write you the words
To a song we’ll create
As a pair of lovebirds.
And our love will shine bright
For the whole world to see
In the music and lyrics
Of our harmony.
Dedicated to my best friend and loving boyfriend. Thank you for enriching my life with your wonderful music. Happy Valentine’s Day! I love you, sweetheart!

(Third place winner of Writer’s Carnival’s Poet-less Poetry contest!)
I tried to sing a ballad,
But my voice was way off key.
I tried to paint a picture,
But I draw so terribly.
I tried to cite a sonnet,
But I messed up every rhyme.
I tried to dance a solo,
But I couldn’t keep the time.
So I’m writing you this poem
In the hope you’ll find it fun.
You know I’d never work this hard
To please just anyone.
For life is far too fleeting
And my feelings far too true
To find a boring way of saying,
“Darling, I love you!”

Thank you for the laughter
That brings me close to tears.
Thank you for the gentle words
That wash away my fears.
Thank you for the memories
Of such a happy youth.
Thank you for the values
You have taught me through the truth.
Thank you for the pride you show
In all my works of art.
Thank you for the love you give
That’s always in my heart.
I don’t know who I’d be today
Had God not given me
The gift for which I thank Him most:
The world’s best family!
Thank you to my wonderful family for everything you do for me! I’m thankful for all of you every single day! Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! I love you with all my heart!

Do you remember me?
How much can you now see?
Are all your memories there,
Wherever you may be?
I wanted to believe
That you would never leave,
That we’d never see the day
When we would have to grieve.
Yet I saw how much they’d strain.
I knew you were in pain,
That all their love and care
Would only be in vain.
Could you recognize
The sadness in our eyes?
How every name you’d say
Would come as a surprise?
I’m sure you always knew
The people there for you.
Your memory was strong
As your love for us was true.
And now that you are gone,
Somehow we must move on.
The pain had gone too long,
But the peace has finally won.
So please remember me
Wherever you may be.
Look down on me with grace
And see my smiling face
To know at last you’re free.
In loving memory of my grandfather, who lived his last years with Alzheimer’s before he passed away. I love you, Grandpa! I hope you remember us where you are now. We’ll certainly always remember you.
