My Granny & Grampa live in a magical house<br />
<br />
There’s an Easter Egg party every single day<br />
And a secret room where only kids can play<br />
<br />
There’s an Ice cream store in the laundry room<br />
And markers and paint to make an art show soon<br />
<br />
You can build a tent in the room upstairs<br />
and have indoor picnics with lots of tables and chairs<br />
<br />
There’s a pantry full of our favorite snacks<br />
And plenty of bread to feed the duck that quacks<br />
<br />
On the back porch you can watch a fireworks show<br />
and on the lawn there are parties whenever we go<br />
<br />
Flowers & Butterflies, fountains & water slides<br />
Fishing & Swimming, Sand castles & boat rides,<br />
<br />
A puzzle can sit on the table all day<br />
And Scrabble and cards are the games we play<br />
<br />
At Christmas there are lights everywhere<br />
and trains that move and lots of presents to share<br />
<br />
But the very best part which no place can beat<br />
It’s where Granny & Grampa and all the cousins meet.<br />
<br />
and that’s why it’s a magical house<br />

To My Little Girl<br />
<br />
A moment went by, when it was just you and I<br />

And no one else knew, that inside me you grew<br />
<br />
My first thought was excitement to know you were there<br />
A tiny dot of life totally within my care<br />
<br />
I knew I couldn’t hide you or I would get no rest<br />
So I told dad our secret and hoped for the best<br />
<br />
Your dad was so scared he didn’t know what to say<br />
So I prayed and I prayed for you to be ok<br />
<br />
When we told your sisters, they couldn’t believe it was true<br />
The baby they’d always said yes to, was finally coming due<br />
<br />
You were a surprise and a miracle all rolled into one<br />
We love you so dearly and can’t wait for the fun!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

You Comfort Me<br />
<br />
When I am near you, I feel safe.<br />
When you smile at me, it warms my heart.<br />
When I hear you laugh, I am filled with joy.<br />
<br />
Just the sound of your voice puts me at ease<br />
and makes me relax.<br />
Even through tears, you make worry disappear.<br />
<br />
Your gentleness releases my stress.<br />
A calm surrounds me, just hearing you breathe.<br />
To watch you rest, I see with a clear mind.<br />
<br />
Within your words, I find courage.<br />
I hold your hand and it gives me strength.<br />
When you hug me, I feel love.<br />
<br />
You comfort me.Atlanta Marie Carrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09893732315885110372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280487234038579980.post-70059545608081886092012-06-24T17:01:00.003-07:002013-07-22T07:32:27.394-07:00Flying Angel<br />

My Friend, My Husband, My Love<br />
<br />
You were my friend...<br />
happy to see me; sad when I left<br />
wishing me well; helping me get well<br />
lifting me up when I was down<br />
fun to be around<br />
<br />
Then you were more...<br />
you were my love<br />
you who I turn to<br />
you who I can’t wait to tell<br />
you who holds me<br />
you who is always there for me<br />
<br />
Your smile is the brightest part of my day.<br />
Your happiness is the spark that lights my way.<br />
Your joy is my joy.<br />
You mean the world to me.<br />
<br />
You are my husband; my love<br />
but always, you are my friend.Atlanta Marie Carrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09893732315885110372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280487234038579980.post-66723260223184132412012-06-24T17:01:00.001-07:002013-07-22T07:30:54.691-07:00Love Heart<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

To My Husband<br />
Your touch warms me<br />
From the tips of my fingers<br />
To the bottom of my soul<br />
<br />
Your kiss excites me<br />
A flutter inside<br />
That sends my heart pounding<br />
<br />
Your voice reassures me<br />
Filling me with calm<br />
Giving me rest<br />
<br />
Your love surrounds me<br />
Carrying me with trust<br />
I belong to youAtlanta Marie Carrerahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09893732315885110372noreply@blogger.com0
