Today would've been Mom and Dad's anniversary if they were still alive.
They got married sixty years ago today on September the 25th of 1965.
Today is also the anniversary of my sister-in-law and brother.
Back in 2013, I had to say goodbye to my father and mother.
After living for six and a half decades, Mom and Dad passed away.
If they hadn't died, they would've been married sixty years today.
DEDICATED TO CHARLES AND AGNES JOHNSON.

Two years ago, I went into debt to try to save you.
But you passed away anyway, it's sad and it's true.
I paid thirteen hundred dollars with my credit card.
When it came to facing your death, it sure was hard.
When it came to saving your life, I certainly tried.
But sadly, on the seventeenth of August, you died.
It doesn't bother me because I went into debt.
What does bother me is that I lost a great pet.
You were only six years old and you had no future ahead.
I said goodbye two years ago today when I found you dead.
DEDICATED TO PUPPY (2017 - 2023) WHO PASSED AWAY TWO YEARS AGO TODAY ON AUGUST 17, 2023
Ontem foi seu aniversário
Infelizmente, foi um dia agitado
No entanto, fui ao jardim
Do meu coração nesta linda manhã
Onde colhi uma rosa invisível que poderia trazer:
Felicidade, alegria, bom humor e uma primavera antecipada.

Raspei minha barba e bigode para alegrar o seu dia
De todo o coração, desejo-lhe um feliz aniversário
Oh! Eu gostaria de encantar você até o anoitecer
Quando o arco-íris não estiver mais no outono
Em direção a outro horizonte, para outra estação
Por favor, aceite esta rosa, este poema, esta canção.

P.S.: Este poema é dedicado ao meu bom amigo.

Ayer fue tu aniversario
Sin querer, tu día estuvo sobrecargado
Aun así, fui al jardín
de mi corazón esta hermosa mañana
donde recogí una rosa invisible que podría traerte:
Alegría, salud, buen humor y una primavera prematura.

Me afeité la barba y el bigote para complacerte
De todo corazón, te deseo un feliz cumpleaños
¡Oh! Quisiera encantarte hasta el anochecer
Cuando el arcoíris haya cruzado la esfera inaudita
Hacia otro horizonte, para otra estación
Por favor, acepta esta rosa, este poema, esta canción.

P.D.: Este poema está dedicado a una amiga.

Hier, c’était ton anniversaire de naissance
Par contre, ta journée était surchargée par inadvertance
Cependant, je suis allé au jardin
De mon cœur ce beau matin
Où j’ai cueilli une rose invisible qui pourrait t’apporter :
Bonheur, joie, santé, humeur et un printemps prématuré.

J’ai rasé ma barbe et moustache pour te plaire
De tout mon cœur, je te souhaite un heureux anniversaire
Oh ! Je voudrais te charmer jusqu’à la tombée de la nuit
Quand l’arc-en-ciel aura franchi l’orifice inouï
Vers un autre horizon, pour une autre saison
Veuilles accueillir cette rose, ce poème, cette chanson.

P.S. : Ce poème est dédié à une chère amie.

One year ago, we said “I do,”
Two hearts as one, a love so true.
Hand in hand, through joy and strife,
God bound us strong, husband and wife.

We faced the storm, we felt the rain,
In hospital halls, we carried pain.
But even there, through nights so long,
Our faith in God remained our song.

He turned our tears into a stream
That watered hope and birthed a dream.
A business born, a sacred start,
A breakthrough crafted by God’s heart.

Through every trial, through every test,
You’ve been my peace, my soul’s sweet rest.
We prayed, we cried, we stood, we grew
And still I choose, each day, just you.

Our calling now is clear and bright,
To walk by faith, to shine His light.
Together now, we rise, we go
Wherever God leads, we’ll follow.

So here’s to one year, love so divine,
With many more where our hearts align.
My love, my light, my answered prayer,
With you, this life I’m proud to share.

Happy Anniversary, my forever love,
You’re my greatest gift from God above. 💕
Anniversary gift from above.

When Dad got Leukemia, he put up a fight.
He took chemo but lost his battle 12 years ago tonight.
After months of taking chemotherapy, he died.
He couldn't beat cancer even though he tried.
He died less than two hours before the fourteenth of July.
He was a good provider and that's something I can't deny.
When a person loses a parent, it's always sad.
Twelve years ago, I had to say goodbye to Dad.
Dedicated to Charles F. Johnson (1947-2013) who died 12 years ago tonight on July 13, 2013

You were my baby doll and I owned you for almost seven years.
You were my all time favorite dog and I wish you were still here.
You were very special, wonderful and unique.
When I found you dead, it was sad and bleak.
I had to dig a hole and bury you in the ground.
I would be happier if you were still around.
You lost all of your teeth but I still loved you.
I'll never forget you and that is certainly true.
Dedicated to Agnes (2011-2020) who died five years ago today on July 11, 2020

When we were young we loved so much
The plans we made and the time we lost
Together we learned to face our fears
It was just another time of years

We lived, we loved and we tried so hard
We watched our children grow
We made our place and we cried our tears
It was just another time of years

Now it’s time we are looking back
We both know where we’ve been
We stood strong beside all our piers
It’s just another time of years
