Jake

Jump the gate and on the run
Around the corner having fun
Combing the woods for new adventures
On board the ship to find the treasure
Beyond the horizon and on forever

Sarah

Sail away upon a cloud
Amazing grace can be found
Remembering the time that was spent
Amidst the angels she will be kept
Happy day when we meet again

Beckie

Round the bend of motherhood
Embracing family as she could
Bringing joy to those in need
Engraving love into her creed
Catching tears for all who hurt
Carrying burdens is heavy work
Adorning courage, she cannot shirk

Jennifur

Joy is found in simple things
Embracing life for what it brings
Never looking at our faults
Never pointing at what was lost
Imagining life beyond today
Focusing on growing everyday
Understanding when there's imperfection
Remember that being a family is perfection

My Mom

Kind and still as the falling snow
Awe and grace fill the winter show
Tender words that fall on our ears
Hope and comfort that brings good cheer
Years of love that brought me here

My Dad

In the spirit of the season, thought I'd start of series of poems dedicated to my family members starting with my Dad.

Rugged as the mountainside
In tune with the beauty found in nature's eyes
Cool and calm as the twilight
Kept and nurtured in his sight

Young at heart, and strong in might
