Knots and Strings

Silk’s what makes a spider’s web …………..

And can withstand a thunderstorm.

Twine can bind a bale of hay …………..

if it falls off the wagon it still holds it’s form.

Ribbon holds a beautiful gift …………..

An extra touch to show some care.

Threads make all our clothing strong …………..

Not matter what we want to wear.

Ropes can hang a tire swing …………..

Or keep a schooner under sail.

String can make a necklace of pearls …………..

Or finish off a delicate veil.

A second string can win a game ………….

Or play the music’s highest notes.

A strand of love can tie you up …………..

And let you know just what you’ve got.

So if you read the strands above …………..

You’ll know the meaning of the knot.

My love for you and ours for us …………..

Ties every day together, and holds us, and makes us strong,

 

and lets us sing, and sail through storms …………..

well, it’s everything. Strings

Wonder and Want

If you want to know how,
I will show you.

If you wonder where,
I will take you there.

If you want help,
I will be there for you.

If you wonder why,
I will share what I know.

If you want to see,
I will give you my light.

If you want to try,
I will cheer for you.

If you want to rest,
I will give you my pillow.

If you want to cry,
I will catch your tears.

If you want to dream,
I will wish for you.

Valentine

Daddy loves you every day.
You are my son. It’s just that way.

No matter what, I’m all for you.
‘Cuz that is just what Daddies do.

No matter how much time we share
You need to know I’m always there.

I’m thinking of you all day long,
You make me want to write a song.

The song would be about the way
I want to hear the things you say.

Or it might be just how to say
I love you in a different way.

Just like this poem is a way,
To tell you on this special day:

I love you. No matter what.
