Wish you had showed me about family
Told me of them
Welcomed them
Had you let go of issues and taught me about our ancestors when you were here
Those I have come to know wish we could turn back time
Grow up together
Know us as children
Been there and around us when you were taken from us so early
We have a large family
It is time for me to know the people you never shared with me
The reasons no longer matter
You would have turned 95 tomorrow
With your children,sons in -law ,grandchildren, great grandchildren,and  your cousins' children
Mom is with you now and you are no longer alone
August is fifty years since you left way too soon
It is time to celebrate you and what is

Oldies
Goodies
No matter what you listen to
Embrace and enjoy it
Laugh at yourself
Enjoy a joke
We are too sensitive at times
If we don't come together soon the chasm will widen and spirit will fall through
Dance and enjoy life
For tomorrow is promised to nobody
Even Republcans
Travel down the musical road and lock up Donald and  his cronies
He can't sing or dance any way.

Say what you mean
Not what others say and think
Think very carefully before you regret what comes out of your mouth
Quiet and silence sends powerful messages very well
There are many hellos and goodbyes in life
Dreams and fairytales come true and with that come troubles
You revisit what works
You cast aside people when the friendship expiration date can't be renewed
You will know the ones to hold on to because they will always be there and vice versa
Just turn around
Be open to new friendships but learn from the past
Choose wisely before they choose you
Letting go and moving forward is not a cliche
You can't stay in neutral or in the past
That is just the way it is
You will find your way

Of History
Of Mystery
Of Art
Of Tradition
Of Stories
Of Legends
Of Culture
Of Music
Tell them
Share them
Talk and Discuss
Face to Face
Not online
Not on Tick Tok
Not texting
Word by word
Stories to be read,shared,passed down and remembered
Cherished
This is how lessons should be learned

Gris and Picasso both
fool and train the eye with images magnificently
They make words pop
They play with the eye
It's different shades and takes on a world some just don't see even if they are looking
As a visual learner and a writer, it captures a place I hold dear
Sometimes what stands out holds itself to a higher plane because the music of the heart, soul, and falls into the hands of those that impact the world in a way few imagine and a special few accept

Make it genuine
Make it divine
Make it the way you want it to be
Think of Dexter the dog from Colorado and you can do the unthinkable
Many people were touched and moved by the dog who lives the think I can spirit and does it
Realize the costs and the moments are precious and must be seized
Sometimes it isn't pretty
Sometimes it isn't fair
Sometimes it is what it is doesn't apply
It's the only one
It's yours
Have at it
Taste it and Revel in it
It's the only one just be kind and caring
