Butterflies

When the caterpillars thought it was their end...

They emerged as butterflies.

BUTTERFLIES

Coloring books can be a great relief...and escape from the mundanes of everyday. And I decided  to amp it up a bit buy opting water color.

New year for me. I am older...but age is just a number.

Attempts on Poetry: Don't Make Me A Memory

DON'T MAKE ME A MEMORY

Don't Make Me A Memory

I'd rather not be a memory,
soon it will dry and die...
Allow me to live in your heart;
then, let the sunshine be my smile.
Let me welcome you each day and brace you.
Let me soothe you with a warm and tender touch...
Don't make me a memory
I'd rather not be.

Let me be that love song instead.
Hum me through the day within your soul,
or let me be the pile of work you tend to
every minute of your hurried day.

I'd rather not be a memory.
Just make me your dream instead.
Each night you'll come home to me...
I'd rather not be a memory,
it'll make me fade and faint...
but as a dream, as I plead.

Let me be your fantasy.
Confide to me your wishes and hopes...
I then will live forever,
though oceans drift us away...
I will then be immortal,
living always in your soul.

I'd rather not be a memory.
Don't make me one, I beg.
Believe me,
I would rather not be.
