We all have dates we’ll always remember
One of mine comes up in September
September 22 was the date that mom passed
The memory of her forever will last
Another date that is special for me
Is September the 6th, our Anniversary
Michael and I have lived many places
Our love has survived in a number of spaces
Deep in December sister Sandy had her first
I was so anxious to see her, I thought I would burst
The night was snowy and the sky pitch dark
I skipped my school dance and trudged through the park
Her name was Lisa and she lit up the world
The first time I saw her, in her blanket she curled
When Michelle was born Sandy gave us a scare
She had placenta previa and many a care
When things settled down and ‘Chelle was OK
We all were delighted and hugged her all day
The date was May 2nd, the beginning of Spring
‘Chelle was bright eyed and perfect, a beautiful thing
When our son Matt was born, I had reservations
I wondered how things would go forward, I had speculations
He was born on June 10th and I was thrilled
It all came together and our hearts were filled.
My short poem is only the start
Of special days that are dear to our hearts
We have births and adoptions and more days to share
Our close-knit family will always be there
