Make This A Day Of Celebration

Make this a day of celebration, joy and gratitude.
For a life began on this day. A life full of love, caring, integrity and honor.
Thanks for being part of mine and giving, enriching my life along your way.

Poppies Grow

Poppies grow
On the hill
Down the valley
And across the road.

No one knows
How many bow
Giving homage
To those that fell.

Giving their lives
For us to be free
Never once stopping
Turning back round
No, such brave ones
Onward they’d go.

I honor and bow
To the sacrifice they gave
As poppies bow silently
There, at their graves.

Brave men and women
Thank you, is all I can say
For what you have given
I honor you this and all days.
