My Godson and me

Today I got to play for almost two hours with my Godson Dylan. He smiled, laughed and dribbled on me. He is a bundle of pure joy.
I performed at Me Ting Place yesterday evening. I dedicated a poem to Simone (Dylan's) Mom. It was a poem I wrote for her birthday about 13 years ago. It is entitled Simone :-)

I have included it below:

Simone




Simone; when I've forgotten all of the rest,
Trying desperately to cling onto memories true,
(to you) the best.
When I've experienced it all,
and there is nothing more,
Within the many stars that twinkle,
your sparkling eyes I will adore.
When I'm at the end of the trail,
and my faculties are few.
I will dwell on these special times,
be comforted by your smile once more,
and remember you.
When the roses rooted in friendship
and respect eventually fade,
And life's light grows dim,
leaving me shivering in death's evil shade.
This poem I write proves that even then,
I will never be alone.
Until my final sigh;
it will always be Simone.
