Purple Unicorns

On By DaniIn Blog Family, Happy Happy Joy Joy, Love, Poetry4 Comments

Sunshine and rainbows and happily ever after are the fairytales of our youth

Even the best laid plans will be met with the storms of life, that when weathered, bravely or otherwise, are meant to show us who we are and forge us into something greater.

So, when the occasional darkness has the audacity to try and block out your sun…

Remember who you are…

That this too will surely pass…

Know that I am here and always on your side.

Each tempest survived will only serve to strengthen you for the next.

YOU are STARDUST!

Dare to BELIEVE in the MAGIC of yourself…

And purple unicorns…because…why not?

Seeds of Love

On By DaniIn Love2 Comments

Soon we will be parting

And I have got the blues

My heart and mind are fighting

Oh which one will I choose

My heart tells me I love you

My mind says it’s too soon

Though the seed becomes the flower

It needs some time to bloom

Once the seed is planted

It will begin to sprout

Like the seed the love in my heart

Is growing without a doubt

But love seeds cost just pennies

And many are planted each year

Without the tending they need to grow

The sprouts will die it’s clear.

Middle School Memories

It’s a cold morning at the bus stop but I don’t mind…

Moments ago, my cousin and I sipped sweet hot coffee and ate scrumptious pastries just like grown-ups at the Donut Hut before school.

Going hungry at lunch was a price worth paying for 30 minutes of tender coming of age connection and deliciousness.
