On My Daughter’s Wedding Day (4)

Read the whole series. Just do, and be thankful for life and love and poets. ❤

No Talent For Certainty

Sometimes I write about actual events and people I know; sometimes I write fiction. The poems in this series are about actual family events.

(Part I)

(Part II)

(Part III)

Part IV – A Toast

Hold fast, no matter what else you may do
To what you know is right, and to each other:
And may this day bestow new lives to you,
The lives of husband, wife – (father or mother?)

Let mutual respect provide the floor
Let love be walls your true hopes to contain;
Let openness between you be a door
Let kindness be a roof to block the rain

May love be patient, as it always should
Do not compete – you are on the same team –
Do each no harm, and where you can, do good:
Together, help to reach what each can dream.

Never forget the vows you made this day.
Always recall…

Morrigan Just Won the Lottery!

The USA E-Lottery, that is. The email states:

 

“YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HAS WON LOTTERY. DETAILS IS ATTACHED”

 

Oh, yeah. Can’t wait to open that attachment.

Do you remember the HI-Larious sitcom “Three’s Company”?

(For all you Brits out there, “Three’s Company” was the American version of “Man About the House”.)

In every episode there was some kind of huge misunderstanding that led to all kinds of crazy hijinks until, finally, in the end, everyone finds themselves on the same page and has a good laugh about the whole thing.

This whole past week was one long fun-house nightmare “Three’s Company” episode. I’m glad we got all that straightened out.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled shenanigans.

 

Yes, this is for you.

Awake

The more I look at it–

“it” being my new header– the more I think it makes me look like Michael Jackson.

Aaaand now I feel the need to prove that I don’t look like Michael Jackson IRL:

See? See? I don’t look like Michael. I don’t!

If You’re an Atheist, Where Do You Get Your Morals From?

Most people who know me personally don’t know I’m an atheist (unless they find and read my blog). As a result, I don’t usually get asked this question. I do find, however, that whenever I practice altruism, people automatically assume I must be Christian, and I admit that I find it irksome. This post by Godless Cranium is a nice summation of how it is possible to be “good without God”.

They fly so quickly away

The greatest joy I have found in this life of mine
is bringing forth and nurturing that life which is thine.
I swaddled you and cradled you and sang to you my song,
knowing that the day would come when you were grown and gone.
