December Winds...a poem

December winds
Blow in today
Bring cold
And snow
And actually,
Love my way.

For the most holy
Of holy
Special Days
The Creator gave me
Yet another gift this day.

For you see
This December
Christmas Day,
I married the love of my life
In a most special way.

I could not have asked
For a better gift
Than to spend
My life
With a man
Such as this.

To my husband on our 1st Anniversary, December 25, 2009.  I love you.

Hope...A Poem

Hope

I sit upon my hands
Entrenched with anger.
I look out onto the sea
With a hope of a new future.
The waves wash over me
Like a newborn removed
From its mother.
I feel a calmness
Invade my innermost thoughts
And I am now free.
