September Highlights:

September – One of Two, Two-Birthday Months

September always gives us a chance to get the family together twice (something we get to do again in December when we celebrate Cathy and my mom’s birthdays). It starts with me at the beginning of the month and my sister toward the end. This year we celebrated my birthday at my sister’s house and wrapped up the birthday festivities for September at my house by having a party in honor of both my sister and dad (who had just returned from his month-long trip to Chile).

Another Year Around the Sun

Filed under: Poems — dave9169 @ 8:51 pm

Another year around the sun
another year to reflect back
another year to start anew
another year to plunge in deep
another year to climb that peak
another year to take a trip
another year to thank your parents
another year to squeeze her hand
another year to tuck them in
another year to dream and do
another year to do it better
another year to gaze at stars
another year to catch the rise and set
another year to learn new things
another year to lend a hand
another year to take a chance
another year to laugh out loud
another year to drink good wine
another year to sleep in late
another year to tell your tales
another year to listen well
another year to drive your car
another year to use your feet
another year to reach that place
another year to know your face
another year to hold on tight
another year to let things go
another year to keep friends close

And another year to blow out candles,
love with all your soul,
and be thankful for
one more turn of this earth.
