How Did I Love You

How did I love you?
In case you didn't know
I loved you in such a way
Would collect all the fireflies in a jar
Outshine the stars in the skies
Just to see your beautiful eyes
& from the flames she rose,
as she looked down at her toes
and saw the dirt beneath,
where all the plants would grow

Larry Potter
The comfiest human bed warmer I ever had,
My fundamental tutor of the good and the bad,
The original storyteller in my bedtime tantrums,
The resident photographer of my birthday albums.

The accidental magician who tricked me out of my worries,
A sympathetic dictator who scolds but allows my fancies,
My biased talent manager who always tells me I'm the best,
The loudest cheerleader who puts to shame all the rest.

The world's underrated chef cooking heavenly meals,
Our unpaid laundry lady worrying over water bills,
The overqualified nurse never leaving her patient,
Our top-notch budget analyst negotiating every payment.

The random gardener, she can grow anything with ease,
Our talkative historian, she stops recalling only if we say please,
The uncanny philosopher, we've learned a lot from her,
The lost and found administrator, tracking things hidden anywhere.

The most efficient multitasker I've ever known,
My trustworthy adviser who knows me down to my bones,
A tough fighter who keeps winning her every battle,
My life's co-creator and this world's greatest mother.
Happy Mother's Day!

TiffanyS
you sat
three rows away
i did not even bother
to get to know your name

now it is too late

a month ago
you passed away
but I really wish
you would
have stayed

we received
an email
two days later
informing us
of your passing

it was
Easter
and
you were already gone

18 years young
but
you are already
up with God
in Heaven above
R.I.P. Jared. He was a classmate of mine that passed away on Easter weekend.

— The End —
