February 1996



Gold in the skies lingered there in your eyes
on that February eve so many years ago
as brilliant found its way to ground
as if to wrap around us just so

You were made strong with young intent
quivering dreams seemed to suit your mind
a nervous mother, me, I just let you drive
while you owned the road, your way to find

The last leg of the last journey of two
we’d come far in our knowing of hearts
gold in the skies lingered there in your eyes,
I keep this, our separation’s start.

Dedicated to my Daughter

Karilea

Hugging you for this sunset memory, so needed to display the color of love.

karilea~

so very loving, a keeper for sure, for the memories this touched....

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

Karilea, I don't believe I have ever seen such a brilliant sunset...
Such an outpouring of love for you daughter.
Beautiful...just beautiful.
Thank you for my last read before sleepy time.

A beautiful photo and a perfectly written poem, Karilea...
I have a couple of very interesting "teaching my kids to drive" stories, but I think I'll follow your example and write them into a poem.

Now I have no idea why that poem made me so sad, but it did.  Sometimes my brain and emotions each have their own highway.  That was a lovely picture, perhaps it is meant to be shared.

Let's spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end, and more on when it's going to start!

Pulling ever gently on the apron string...
whispering it is time to go...
Smiling as a hidden tear wells up...
Such memories...

Beautiful poem and pic KJ...love them both.
