KittenTale 08.04.2008 Campbell, CA
lonely, I sat
barstool and beer
slapped awake - I suddenly hear
“you wear a visor indoors?” she playfully querried
“my future’s so bright” I wished to've wittingly parried
but words to express
my love for you
still today I do stumble...
earlier muted by beauty
now simply humbled
next we’d dance
yeah, girls’ got smooth groove
but later she reveals
a plan to soon move
truth now be told
then somewhat relieved
for a love like this
my heart was too bruised
near summers’ end
her voice played on my phone
learned she’d claim LA
no longer her home
a new life up north
is what she now sought
so when can I see you?
what time have you got?
all seven room mates
gone for the night
spaghetti for two…
“come by if you like”
self conscious I felt
as I parked my bike inside
nervously I asked - “need any help?”
enthusiasm amplified
“salad dressing needs a shake -
grab that bottle – its new”
I gave it a hard tap
across the kitchen it flew
together each day
by now we’re an item
we share an epic wave
stylin hawaiian
post race lap – one final go
we’re out collecting litter
on fuel too low - we rode too far
amidst mud was a glitter
saved by our _Higher Power_ bar
its clear to me now
her love is mine too
russian time glows
late with the moon
return from PV
now flying home
SouthwestAir is our carriage
from the cockpit i risk it all
please accept my hand in a marriage
she said yes - champagne flows
our glasses clink with cheer
the plane touched ground
we float the whole year
life vibrant - full of friends
volleyball and hot tubs
when God armed with an EPT
lends a reality nudge
a doc named Seive
who’s hands did not falter
delivered us both
a fine son and a daughter
a labored delivery
for first born son
quietly entered – his motor stalled
jump start that heart
now Parker he’s called
blessed be that Brooke
flowed into our world
her tiny voice
most joyous noise we’d ever heard
a mother holding daughter
a father holding son
God doing for us
what we could never alone done
so it remains still today
while we celebrate you
who breathes life into each of us
our love we’ll renew
reaching out our hands
we’ll shout, sing or scream
for love and understanding
Beyond our Wildest Dreams!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANA!!!
