Yes, I am a bit late, life has been sort of in the "Twilight Zone" lately~ Poets United came up with a challenge this week, prompt #34 is " I do Bequeath". We are ask to write about our last will n' testament. Whoah...
We can be funny, serious, share some wisdom, but are asked not to leave a blank page.
Fish for your own star, light your own path,
We can be funny, serious, share some wisdom, but are asked not to leave a blank page.
Testament of me
Being of sound mind n' body
I leave my children,
humor, a whirlpool of memories,
humor, a whirlpool of memories,
Introducing gifts of music, magic and movies,
I leave you a red string on your pointer,
soul filled sandwiches,
A tree of hope,blooming with pride,
Sun filled moments at the bay,
treasure hunts, star fish and sand dollars days,
Tea parties, food fights, Barbie pool parties
Tonka trucks races, fireworks n' parades,
Climbing Mt. Battie, climbing a glacier,
Strawberry tall cake, BBQ's in winter, puppy farm
and getting our beagle, hurricane evacuations, flying
to Hawaii,
I stirred the magic sprinkles in the daily
yawn,
I knew my time was short.
My goal to see
you both grow up,
know who I was.
To my husband, Thank you for the micro, macro view
of the world,
Seeing new places, friends from Holland, Japan and Spain.
Battleship, the game of Life, Scrabble,
all tokens of who we are,
Thank you for your patience,
saving my life.

Happy Weekend Ellie!

Whoops! You know, I keep meaning to ask you if you'd rather I call you Ella? For some reason I've always called you Ellie and I notice that you've changed how your name reads on your blog - please let me know and also, I apologize if I've been using the wrong name! D'oh.
I love this post! You just tug at my heart, every time I visit with you.
Thanks for being such a sweetie and visiting my new little valentine blog (and becoming a follower!) - I'm kind of bored with my every day one, so it's fun to look at something different.
Happy week to you!
Sally xo
Sally-Ellen is my real name, Ellie or Ella nicknames. I'm fine with any of the 3. There was another Ellie and some confusion. I decided to go with Ella, since it is in my blog name. No need to apologize, at all! Most people call me Ellie. I love all the inspiration and color, on your blog,I will be by, later on. It is fun to branch out and do something new(you leaped) ;-D Happy Week to you!
