Pensacola

a pen to hold us in the summertime

where nature speaks and colors rhyme

sunset reflections across the shoreline

a day well spent to restore my mind

holding onto vitamin D daydreams

while my joy basks in sun-ray beams

and peace blows in with the cool breeze

time froze the devil in the deep blue sea

the ebb and flow; matter in motion

feeling the sea swell as the wind’s blowing

the foamy glaze drifting across the ocean

chasing mole crabs as we’re beach combing

swimming below waves as they break

beach volleyball games well played

in red bikinis while drinking all day

a place far enough from home to escape

carrying sand between my naked toes

buried in the land of a world unknown

where water cools and the warm sun glows

there’s no better place I could’ve chose

Maritime Moments

What sights will we see on our trip

The captain tells us many sea tales in a zip

Perhaps we’ll spot mermaids swimming near our ship

Protecting us from the sirens murderous grip

So many treacherous treasures we could see

With our X marked map and nifty key

Chests of riches hoarded by serpents of the sea

With our wit we shall take it and flee

What sights shall we see on our sailing trip

To hear the screams of the draugen from their ruined ship

Challenging us to a fast pace race to the beach strip

Forced to sail back with my mates and me in a whip

So many treacherous tales to tell and see

The ideas of adventure fill my mates and me with glee

Our captain toasts to her crew and beloved Marie

For no treasure surpasses times spent with my mates and me

Golden Moments

Remember all the times spent in the grocery store

Memories of long aisles to effortlessly explore

Never once thinking it was an unpleasant chore

As we checked our list of essential items galore

Not even remembering how it all started out

Putting together lists like an advisor o devout

Only scanning the list as we eagerly scout

Quickly finding everything with no doubt

Do you miss our frequent grocery store run

I know to many it’s not worth a note of fun

Nor is it an adventure story of reaching the sun

Nevertheless I still feel like I have won

For nothing measures up to trickles of gold

The small moments becoming grand and bold

Unlike any lavish riches or treasures to behold

Moments spent with you can never be undersold

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my birthday

Falling on a Monday

Waking up to the joyous sun

And the morning glee of everyone

I start my day like I always do

With coffee and breakfast so I am flying through

Hovering like a balloon through the great blue

Reflecting on how much I grew

I’m thankful for all of my family and friends

For whose love forever extends

For all the loving encouragement they send

And for being with me till the very end

As the day begins to March ahead

Many happy birthday messages I have read

So many happy words that were said

If they were food I would be very well fed

The time to celebrate is here

So I promise to have no fear

Despite all the forthcoming years

I’ll March on like one of the musketeers

Today is my birthday

Though it may fall on a work day

I’ll blow out all the candles on my cake

Hoping my wish won’t just be a happy keepsake

So raise a glass for my birthday

For its a bright and joyous day

Despite growing older I won’t dismay

For I wouldn’t have it any other way
