Best Happily Poems

Through the screams of pain,
I heard a cry,
A cry that indicated a birth of a new life.
Sitting in the hospital corridor,
I could hear the cry of happiness from tiny lungs,
I could experience the same happiness,
The family was going through.
Yes a girl child!
I thought to myself,
She...

To you who brought the light to day
giving life to every season
if on this eve I may humbly pray
for Grace to know my reason

Hold fast my hand and bear my soul
as I rise and meet my future lot
loose fears that face the morrows roll
from will...

Appears your smile whilst shining shoes on feet.
My honesty and faithfulness convince - - - - - -
Your heart to trust…our hearts concede to beat.

One day does not a week make, dear.  Let’s tell!

The Secret Of McGee's 
Long Happy Marriage 



McGee was holding down a stool
At McJock's Pool-hall and pub
When Finn came in wearing a grin
And his *** smoked down to a nub

He pulled up a stool, and sat with McGee
And gave him a pat on the back
"Congratulations,...

when the sky breathes poetry
through sepia-streaked silence,
and the earth reclines, listening
to the music of weeping wisterias~
blowing in the pulse of bleeding paradise,
I swallow sizzling stars
within cloaked scars,
comfortably blanketed
in self-woven wounds.
while you, the prisoner of my past,
keep revisiting empty journals,
lacking crystalline colors of comfort.
as crimson are...

Happily discontent, that I am, that I be

achievable  out of reach
joie de vivre  bags of regrets
what I am now  what I could be
love the journey  are we there yet?
live in the present  dream of becoming
I'm...

Thirty-four years we've been married,
and our life together has been varied.
But our love just keeps growing,
so this I am knowing,
we'll be together until we're buried!

Now if that's not okay with you, dear,
let me make myself perfectly clear:
you are stuck with me like glue,
and there's nothing...

There once was a poet extraordinaire,
Who composed sweet poetry with great care. 
She wanted to find true love.
So, she prayed to God above.
He swiftly answered, “Sweetheart, you must forbear.”

Forbearance was her lonely heart’s nightmare.
She was a passionate woman with flare.
Singing in a high octave.
Counting petals...

Happily-Ever-After

Joys by the ocean share nature’s array.
Hopes joined forever on their wedding day.
Love, anticipation, together reached
Everlastingly seen like sands and beach.

The beautiful bride and her loving groom
Walk hand in hand; embrace their new life’s bloom.
Families assembled beneath God’s sun.
Happily-Ever-After has begun.

Daffodil tapestries sing in 
yellows sounding more like gold
Tea kettle ceramic napkins
proving difficult to fold
Trampoline cinnamon pastries
sweetly bounce like something new
While I remain happily lost
within the very thought of you

Wallpaper patterns a'flight
beside an empty sea of green
Mistletoe glistens at night
still hiding so they can't be...

happily married
thoughts of the ones remembered
frozen in time
as they were in that instance
in my mental photographs


never growing
those people I knew
caught in time
still wondering what happened
to the blue dragonfly yesterday...

Don't trade in your happiness. love and laughter.
Don't throw...
