Heart Smiles ~ by Autumn


He is the one I love so strong

he’s the one, I can’t go wrong

He knows my heart

he has from the start

Yes, my heart smiles

and all the while

I feel so blessed

who would have guessed?

He’d touch my soul as well

he’s the one I’m proud to tell

The love will grow

and I truly know

My heart will smile

mile after mile …

Kitty Love


So many hugs

they’re so much in love

“Meow” says he

“I know” says she

Flowers in hand

he is the best in the land

she says it’s true

and I love you

Meow so loud

we’re very proud

We smile a lot

of  happy thoughts

Kitty love is fun

the best under the sun

they can’t wait to say “I do”

these kitties knew

that love was right

and now it’s with all their might

they love each other

and “meow”, never another …

The Fairy of Love


For Bonita, with much love and hugs from Autumn Maasi, you are the best niece ever 🙂

The Fairy of Love

She’s the fairy of love

flying so high up above

Singing as she goes along

Her  string of hearts are very strong

She wants everyone to smile

all that live across the miles

Her favorite color is red

That’s what she says

What do you think of that?

I wonder if she has a red cat 🙂

Red flowers in her hair

she hasn’t a care

She flutters her wings

and continues to sing

She sends lots of love

and even some hugs!

Remembering Dad on Father’s Day


This is a day for Autumn and me to honor and celebrate our Dad‘s life. He is no longer with us and every Father’s Day is somewhat difficult for us. We lost our Dad to evil cancer almost 9 years ago, as most of you kind readers know. This year we decided just some thoughts about our Dad and sharing some Father’s Day quotes would be a good thing. We were blessed with the most awesome and loving Dad, he was also our friend. Dad was so loved by our big family, countless friends and he just had that way of including everyone in the love and caring. Being Italian, he looked after all 6 of his daughters and if the guys had intentions of marriage…Dad made sure they were in it with love and total commitment. He was the best Husband to our Mom and Father to all 6 of us, as well as being the best Grandpa! I’m not bragging and trumping any of this up, honestly because it is the absolute truth. One thing that made Dad special is we all just knew whatever bad or sad thing that was going on in our lives he would sure do his level best to fix. He made us laugh, he loved us joining in singing and our house was filled with music. We all learned to love nature and being out-of-doors with camping, hiking, swimming, and the list goes on! He was just the best, we all miss him very much. He knows this of course, Dad is busy watching over all of us from Heaven. As long as his memory is kept alive, he will always be with us…Happy Father’s Dad, we love you!
1.Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a Dad~Anne Geddes
2.He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it~Clarence Buddington Kellard
3.Old as she was, she still missed her Daddy sometimes~Gloria Naylor
4.There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick it up in your hand and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself~John Gregory Brown
5.My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me~Jim Valvano
6.What a dreadful thing it must be to have a dull father~Mary Mapes Dodge
7.It is a wise father who knows his own child~William Shakespeare
8.They say from the instant he lays eyes on her, a father adores his daughter. Whoever she grows up to be, she is always to him that little girl in pigtails. She makes him feel like Christmas. In exchange, he makes a secret promise not to see the awkwardness of her teenage years, the mistakes she makes or the secrets she keeps~Author Unknown
9.I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection~Sigmund Freud
10.A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again~Enid Bagnold

Midnight on the Beach


Under the shining  moon

a beautiful night in June

singing me a tune

My Music man does

showing so much love

kisses and smiles

as we walk for a while

back on the beach

the stars within our reach

his hand in mine

feeling so fine

we walk and we talk ~

running out of words never

we can converse forever

so we walk our steps in tune

on the beach, a lovely day in June …

Angel on a Cloud


See the angel on the cloud

she should be very proud

sending messages of love

from up above

If you’re lucky you will see

that good that is meant to be

sprinkling and soaring around

making not a sound

yet one can feel it in the air

it flows without a care

The Angel on a cloud in blue

wants joy and love so true

to reach the land

and make a stand

so all will know

that love can grow

The Angel turns to go for now

she waves and then she takes a bow …

The Goal


I was left, and you were right

Our one last goal was just in sight

We tried and tried with all our might

working sometimes long into the night

We were tough and we were strong

we never veered off our path for very long

it was our dream, you know that means…

Our house in the mountains made of stone

The beauty was true and we built it alone

Just you and me

like it will always be

At one with nature, we are free

the love still grows

and we both know

The Love in your Eyes


I see the love and the light

shining so bright

in your eyes

each look takes me by surprise

my darling man

just take my hand

and walk with me

happy as can be

our love so strong and true

I really do

wonder at times

how we’ve found a beautiful rhythm and rhyme

so in tune

that happened so soon

so many walks

and endless talks

and laughter and fun

we’ve only just begun

the future lies ahead and beckons

it’s the magic which is us …
