Day 320 - Saturday's Smile

She has a secret in her twinkling eyes

Of adventures you need not know

How she flew in the bright blue skies

And dove into depths down below

In her happiness and rock star style

Today she stole Saturday's smile

Day 253 - Bump in the Night

Time for a different adventure

One in the dark of night

No telling what may creep past us

Just as we turn out the light

Past the old arm chair and lamp

Tip toe with me down the halls

Down to the basement stairs

Picture frames covering the walls

We giggle but try to hide it

The mirthful and happy sound

Then suddenly I lose my balance

And we fall to the ground

The girls behind us laugh mercilessly

Until we grab ankles and pull them too

Nothing like ghost stories at a sleepover

To trip and laugh about the whole night through

Day 126 - The Dress

The Dress

The perfect lines, the sash just right

You see how the color matches her eyes?

The feeling of the fabric is soft and light

Yet the girl behind it is the ultimate prize

She made it with only a needle and thread

Hands rough, callused, ready and waiting

Learning from what her mother said

Fashion is not about others debating

Rather about she who will fill it

How she will feel, dancing and spinning

How she can have anything, if she wills it

And how the pattern is just the beginning

The love put into this simple dress

Focuses a world where all else is a mess
