Created from dust
Instilled with Divine Spirit
Magical creatures
We are unique, but the same
Born from the All Knowing Mind

Beautiful rose,
Tender and precious your petals
Blossoming with virtues to be envied
Instilled with virtues to be adored
The embodiment of your mother
Like her mother before her in perpetuity
Gentle at heart
Stronger than her counterpart
At times, sharp as a thorn
Drawing blood when crossed
Passionate and compassionate in the same breath
Nurturing by nature
Disciplinarian, teacher, spouse
Professor, professional, physician
Soldier, pilot, Captain
Intellectual, politician, leader
Fighting for equality to this modern day
Taken for granted by others
Unafraid in the face of adversity
Birther to all mankind
To be honored not once a year but daily
You are the treasure…
You are Woman

Wasted away with reckless abandon
Abused and neglected as though nothing to lose
Elder years bestow the treasure most deeply cherished
For in youth we’re blind to the riches worth
Trusting the vein will flow eternal
“till tragedy or life doth rear it’s head
Once lost to gluttony its lost to eternity
No matter how hard we try to relive
Regret can destroy through foolishness folly
As we know not when we be called back home
Squander not the gift so limited and precious
Share freely with those you most dearly love
The value of time cannot be embellished
For fleeting moments once gone are gone
Of Daughters
By D. R. DiFrancesco
Oh beautiful ones,
Joy given by just your being,
Smiles that melt the heart.
Innocence incarnate,
You came into to this world a blank slate,
To be loved, cherished and molded.
From that first moment,
Tears as you drew you first breaths
You had me wrapped around your fingers.
With the batting of your eyes,
Blue and darting,
You struggled to take in all that was around you.
Naturally overcome by your newness,
I watch bewildered and amazed,
As your personality took shape.
Wide-eyed you began to recognize me,
Smiles, soft chuckles, clutching my finger,
As I made silly noises to get your attention.
Who was the child,
It was you…or maybe me perhaps,
I felt like a kid again if only for a short while.
You are part of me,
Part of my legacy,
One that adds greater beauty to this world.
You have completed me,
Made me the father I never thought I would be,
You are the loves of my life.
