Happy 18th Birthday Kadey!

This is one of my favorite photographs of my daughter, Kadey.
We were at the Disney Village, here in Florida, and it was pouring rain!
Kadey wanted to play in the fountains, anyway...so she did!
I grabbed this moving moment from a distance, as she raised her arms up,
looking up into the sky, allowing the rain to mizzle in her face,
she surrendered. . .

I hope and pray she finds what it is she's searching for out there. . .

Kadey is doing just fine, she's still in school and still focusing on her dream to attend college in the Fall, she's just not doing it from our home. She's been with her girlfriend's family since January, and up until today, I felt like I had a wayward little brat on my hands, but, now, today, Kadey is a legal adult,  and she can do whatever it is she pleases...

God Bless You, Kadey
These are my words to you...I pray you read them as if they are YOUR words to the world!

 

HIS NESS OF SUBLIME

My quiet pines,
a chime in the breeze
where stillness allows,
this notice I seize!

Prate in a distance,
of summoning strife
Heart raising moments,
abate for your life!

Souse in simplicity,
dance with a plant
equally unfreed,
in a rhapsody’s extant!

A tweedle among tweedle’s,
only one can be heard
Canoodle the thought,
to the stag of your heard!

My quiesce is mindless,
though yours intertwines
Distant in likes,
back to reading ’tween lines...

What I hear you can’t,
what you say I don’t
Words that He wrote,
sounds only my trump!

Your casings are yours,
depending the doors
For closing in quiet,
softens slams among wars. . .

Earring no sounds,
filling a heart right in the right
Soaking in silent,
before chiding the tripe

Peace can’t occur,
in a vault of vacuity
Know how to go,
in your worlds of obscurity

Commandments of Thine,
give reasons to rime
The treasures await you, in
His Ness of Sublime
