meals are eaten

prayers are said

a roof over our heads

a warm bed

the sound of a cello

sharpies

pink roses as a bookmark in the book of Daniel

clean clothes

love

*

muddy puppy footprints

reading fairy tales

white chocolate

dark chocolate

milk chocolate

*

handwritten letters

a pot of red bean and rice on the stove

the smell of anise

*

old comfy pajamas

hugs

the coo of a baby

*

poetry filled with...

hope

fields of flowers

love

and

blue skies

*

warm milk and honey before falling asleep

rain on a tin roof~ hello jamaica

never will watching a bird soar get old to me

happy tears

the tango

reaching my palms toward the sky by the sea

looking into the eyes of my children

 faith...

that our fallen brothers and sisters of haiti are enveloped in His love

and greeted by angels with warm wings

may you walk the streets of gold and never be forgotten
