People flock to your kind and patient aura… like butterflies that flit around in the sun landing only in places where they feel safe and nourished.
People, animals…it’s just something about you.
You’ve long been that space for me.
From the moment I heard your voice there was comfort and recognition.
It took me a little time to process those feelings…
You were home! I was home!
Home will always be wherever I’m with you.

For Noelle
I haven’t always seen you…
You’re so adept at flying under the radar.
I suspect you get that from your mom.
I’m so proud of the man you have grown into and I’m a little shocked sometimes at the glimpses I see of myself in your character.
Your flame is constant, steady and often playfully mischievous with a slight hint of underlying sadness.
Perhaps at thirty you’ve already seen and know too much?
Many underestimate you…at their own peril I suspect, and I find that refreshing.
You have surprised me in the best of ways with candor, insight, warmth, and wisdom beyond your years.
I wish you a long life filled with happiness. When life’s struggles find you, I hope they only serve to forge your armor stronger and when faced with your enemies may your red dragon hellfire rain down on and incinerate them accordingly. 😉

(For Jeremy)
Strands of wheat fly
In the five o’clock breeze
Flecks of amber and emerald
Delight in nature’s orchestration
Even the sinking sun lingers
to bear witness…
Arm in arm we press forward
Faces flushed, hearts racing
Inside your pocket
Our fingers interlace
And your October smile
Gives autumn’s brilliance
A whole new light
It is here I revel
My path perfectly illuminated
Forever basking in your
Aura of gold
(For Noelle)
