Aurora's Poem

How precious life is when you hold a newborn
The power of God
A miracle of miracles
A gift from heaven
An angel here on earth
Knowing she is a part of me
My life carrying on
The cycle of humankind turning its wheels
Seems strange
Yes
Mystifying
Yes
It is real
A beautiful baby
New breath
Tiny fingers and toes
Little cries you want to protect
The potential of something grand
I want to be there holding your hand

Watch me grow

The 50 Cent Tour

Lost in paradise
One wrong turn turned into another
Palm trees abound
Peeks of the Pacific bring to mind
You're on an island
How far off course can you go
On this land surrounded by water?
The boundaries are finite
In this new and exotic territory
I must be on the 50 cent tour,
This is not Gilligan's Island,
Discovering landmarks to return to
If only I could find them again
The perfect landmark of all
The island police station
Found quite by accident
Where the good looking and personable tour guide,
Officer Yamamito
Rescued me with good directions.

Nothing Else Matters

Nothing else matters
Rocking in the chair

Nothing else matters
My baby and me

Nothing else matters
Sitting near a breeze

Nothing else matters
