My Poem for Collin


once I knew you
only as a heartbeat within my own
swift and steady
thoughts of you I could not fathom
only the glimmer of a life
I did not yet know
and as our worlds parted
and simultaneously
became one life together
I found a love stronger
than any bond I'd ever known
as you grew, we grew together
each waking day
you become more glorious.
your splendor and strength
bring out the beauty within me
each thought of the possibilities
that lie ahead for you
make me delirious with joy
thank you for your existence,
for your life,
and love,
for all the joy you've given me,
and for all that I am
because of you.

About Me

There are easier questions to answer. I’m a little bit of a brat I guess. I like things my way. I’m bossy, and I don’t mind being so. I do take myself rather seriously… but I am working on that. I have a ridiculous sense of humor…. and I can make myself laugh like a lunatic. Even when no one else gets it. I love people, especially those that love me back. I am extremely loyal to my friends and family. I love to jump on beds. I collect books. All kinds of books, tons of them. Some of them I don’t even intend on reading. I just like them. Ummm.... I'm pretty crazy. I change my mind all the time. I love to make stuff, lots of stuff... useless stuff. And I love to cook and eat. I love my kids and family and husband and all my animals. Bright colors, flowers, warm weather, cuddling, the ocean... especially the smell of it, all those things are great too. And basically, I’m just here to work on my writing skills and talk about my life and new adventures in gardening and raising baby chicks.
