I WROTE THIS POEM AFTER MY DAUGHTER'S BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR WEDDING 4 YEARS AGO IN ARLINGTON, Ma
September's Ceremonial
As she stopped atop the terraced stairs
her tiny ,yet sensual figure .seemed to take on a glow
This beautiful woman, daughter of mine
Was shining ,like a glistening gemstone of varying hues
And all living things around her seemed to stop their daily chores
And breath in her angelic beauty.
She stood radiant in her glory. unaware of her glow
Her long gauzy veil moved gently , ever so slightly
As a breeze passed and uttered a sigh of admiration.
The sun beamed down warmly as the puffy clouds paused .
This was her day and all of nature stood enchanted
As she seeminly floated down each step with natural grace
All breathing seemed to stop , waiting for her entrance to complete
her smile, so radiant with love and delight, emitting her innate beauty
And the luminescent waters mirrored her beauty in natures surroundings.
She walked in beauty , harmonious with nature on that day
And all the Angels in the heavens stood enthralled, whispering softly
As she floated along the green of Summer's carpet
And the flowery petals opened wider to catch the colors of her beauty
And watch Christine, the most elegant of flowers , on her ceremonial day.

Karen Hamilton said… - Thanks cathy for all the nice compliments - my grandson is a little ham when the camera comes out already and he's only 1. lol
And thanks about our baby the truck. we are pretty proud of her. She started out as rust and 2.5 yrs later this is what she looks like. We don't take vacations or anything like that so she is our source of entertainment and that is just fine by me. My hubby made it so comfy just for me to ride in.
Take care and hope to talk to you again

John Rains said… - Hi Cathie, Thanks for the invite and friendship. It's the people like you and others that make it worth advocating for. People need to know how you as a person in pain, and i as a caregiver go through on a daily basis. People need to be educated.. Thanks again. Pain free days to you...

Nancy Moore said… - Cathie~ I will add you to the prayer list. I think God~recovery all interplay & help us to cope. Even if there are struggles that no-one understands. I will e-mail you & share more with you my story. My family has gone through so much in the past few years. The only thing that did get me through was God... I still have moments where I want to drink & not going to a meeting~ there is no excuse every Monday there is one a few feet away from my place at the school on my road..Sacred Heart. So in that department there are no excuse. Plus i do have friends that would pick me up. Hang in there. Chin up this to shall pass~ angelblossom71@att.net
