Love Poetry

MY DANNY BOY

Danny, this seemed the perfect time
And too long overdue,
To take a moment to tell you son,
How proud I am of you.

My father always had a wish
For a son to call his own,
But, God blessed him with three little girls.
Then, too soon my dad was gone.

I told my mom, when I was eight,
With my heart filled up with joy,
Someday I know I’ll have a son,
And I’ll call him “Danny Boy.”

God granted me that special wish,
And as I’ve watched you grow,
My little boy has become a man
That’s truly a joy to know.

Its funny how in so many ways
You remind me of my dad,
Everything from his beautiful smile
To those “smiling eyes” he had.

Such a dedicated father you are,
And a hard-worker, too.
Always there when needed
By those that are counting on you.

I love you, now and always,
Though miles keep us apart.
There’s always a place for “Danny Boy”

In the center of my heart.

Love, Mom

MY GIRLS

Just look how pretty and how sweet,
I’m prejudiced you see.
Even without my telling you,
You can see they look like me.

I’ve tried to teach them things they’ll need
To make it in this world.
Although I may forget sometimes,
They’re no longer little girls.

Still in my heart they’ll always have
The center spot you see.
That way no matter where they are
They’ll still be close to me.

No matter what the future brings
Or how their life unfurls,
I make sure they both know
How much I love my girls.

Let Others Wonder Why

I close my eyes and there you are
To brighten up my day.
If this life lasts a thousand years
I’ll always feel this way.

You have this way of saying things
That speak right to my heart.
Whenever I’m angry you make me laugh
Before the fight can start.

Romance, passion, thoughtfulness,
I couldn’t ask for more.
That’s why each day I love you
more than the day before.

We’ve had our fights. I must admit
There were some heated ones.
But there’s more fun in making up,
After the yelling is done.

No one is ever perfect.
We know this, you and I.
We’ve found what seems to work for us.
Let others wonder why.

MY SISTER / MY FRIEND

Ann, I felt the time was perfect
And too long overdue
To try and say what it means to me
To have a sister like you.

We’ve been the very best of friends.
Together we’ve faced it all.
I know that when I need to talk
You’re waiting for my call.

Sisters are special blessings
That God grants us in this world.
When others ask about you,
I say smiling “That’s My Girl.”

We talk ,we laugh, and just have fun
For hours at a time.
I pray and thank the Lord above,
This sister, He made mine.

You may not be right next door
Since miles keep us apart.
Still you’re always with me
In Ann’s Corner of my heart.
