Happy Birthday

A time of no time,
a reset button,

now which way did you come in ?
I would like to help you out.

Tattoo        Vasectomy
both should have equal thought.
Lamp shade - time for the frontal lobes to grow.

Heave ho matey, and we will all get there together.
Pull the sails in we are in for stormy seas.

Rice needs beans, Watercress so much better than
broccoli, Tequila shows allover your face,

porcelain skin is hard to keep,but tile and porcelain
make a great pillow.

June eleven nineteen eighty five, twenty hours of labor

 Her Soul arrives !

June five two-thousand eleven, four twenty

Her Soul transforms !

Coffee house thoughts.

I really enjoyed these moving, coffee house thoughts. The way you wrote this, is exactly how we think. There is no order when we remember loss, Love. Those memories don't follow logical paths they come up like breeching whales, shooting stars; an eclipse.

An important piece,
Lee.

Gut wrenching........June 11 a time of birth, her soul is here, 2011 taken away to rest on that tile and porcelain pillow on the arms of eternity, angels heralding her arrival in Heaven just as her arrival was heralded on earth on that June 11 day! The words, "heave ho matey, and we will all get there together" preparing you for the stormy seas that would come. The time of no time was not what was expected -the reset button should not have quit working.........God, how do we deal with it - our children taken when they had so much life to experience!! ??
My heart is with you this day and on so many others!! What a beautiful soul now in the arms of eternity!!!

At the base, what a beauty, the size of the two looking back what a light ,with the Spanish moss,holding a thought.

yes ... for sure ... would love to see your daughter up close and a pic of the tat .. (read your response to PoetryPenPal) i am of Stotch/Irish heritage and have more than one Celtic tats (most from the same old school artist) He is also very good at coverups if you and your daughter find yourself nearby Sioux Falls SD :))

That was very good. You had very strong lines.
at first the title didn't make sense, but it all came toghether at the end. I loved reading it!

pen pal,each line really just a thought, one leading to another, she drew a Celtic knot tattoo,asked for my approval, a ticklish position for a dad. To give "permission" for a ink, a stain,even one of beauty, then the thought she put into the knot she drew,and to ask I was included, Ticklish spot now to answer is easy because hind sight is at least 20/18, sure I said with out hesitation, but the artist did not have the skill to duplicate the art she drew, or she didn't have the money to pay for the detail, a teeter-totter ,I wish she would of found one with the skill, I wish she would of saved and waited so the tattoo would emulate her. But she learned and I have a opinion,not a judgment. I try to get youth to understand decisions are not decrements,so to equalize the vasectomy,and a tattoo makes them think,feel the weight.Then I throw a real mean spirited truth,Lampshades of human skin made from tattoos of Jews .Not right,best to wait. till you have climbed a mountain or four.

That is so true.
