Most of these poems were written for my son, Spenser. 

A Mother’s Poem

It glows and shines better then any gem.

I am in awe each day when it appears.

I am so glad that it has appeared again.

How could someone want to make it disappear?

So beautiful and so sweet, it is the cure for any sadness.

The whole room glows with a heavenly light.

What could it be that fills me with such gladness?

Why, my baby’s smile, showing his delight.  

Baby Baby

Hey, baby baby. You’re smiling so bright.

I love you, baby baby. You’re a mother’s sweet delight.

Everyday I see you, I love you more and more.

You bring me such joy and happiness, I now have a whole store.

Your smile and your laughter show me you’re content.

It makes me glad to know that, because that is my intent.

The sight of you just playing makes my full heart swell.

And if I ever lost you, I’d lose my heart as well.

So tell me, baby baby, are you happy as a clam?

Cause I know, baby baby, that because of you, I am.  

To Spenser

I want to tell you something that I think you need to hear.

It is something so important, that I am writing it down here.

That joyous day I had you was the best day of my life.

Even more important then the day I became a wife.

Your father and I love you more then you could know.

We are thankful to have you in our lives and in our home.

One look at that cute smile and that tiny little hand.

Oh, It takes some work to be a mom, but the benefits are grand.

And when you get much bigger and have kids of your own,

I hope you remember the words written here in this short little poem.

The Morning Sun

The morning sun

So bright, so clear.

It shines upon the earth.

It’s brightness is rivaled

By your smile

And I feel better

For having known you.  

The Sea

The tide goes out, back to the sea

And with it goes my love.

I hold this seashell close to me,

As a seagull flies above.

The seagull’s shrill cry echoes

Across the sodden shore

As I silently cry for my woes,

A love that’s never more.

“Come back, my love”, I cry to thee

Though I know you cannot hear.

And the waves roll on into the sea

As down my cheek there rolls a tear.

The tear falls down onto the sand

And streams into the ocean

I wipe its remnants with my hand,

An absent minded motion.

I turn from the sea and walk away

To leave this lonesome beach.

Your love is now so far away,

Completely out of reach.
