Gina Marie Misner The Year 2015 My wish is for the New Year to be… as precious as a baby’s first breath, as wise as the oldest owl, as peaceful as a white winged dove, as nurturing as a mother’s touch, as pleasant as a best friend’s company, as giving and loving as the kindest of hearts, as faithful and as committed as a husband and wife, as innocent as a child’s imagination, as lavish as the richest Kings, as wild as the liveliest of parties, and as big as the most unimaginable dreams.

To All My Friends and Family The Love Between Friends When we were just kids you and I were like two peas in a pod, at times we were envious of one another not understanding, that we were all children of God. Then there were the teenage years, which were hard for us all; our little lives filled with our first obstacles; some big and some small, yet our friendship continued to grow until each of us went our separate ways, taking with us the memories that each of us hoped would never fade, then came the years of experience; that some of us will often regret and yet others will never forget, but now that we’re older and wiser let us come together so we can rekindle the love that exists between friends not only now but in the future, forever and ever, AMEN.

DEER HEART

Mom; Thanks for teaching me that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Even though we’ve had our ups and downs, I’ll always be your biggest fan, for you can depend on me to be there for you whenever you need someone to hold your hand. Please know that I have plenty of faith in you and will do the best I can, to help you face life’s challenges by helping you make future plans. May you realize that our love is like an hour-glass, with many grains of sand; its contents continuously flowing with no beginning and no end.

THE THINKE R…

For all the Birthdays I missed! 100 % NATURAL Like fruit from a seed Like water from a crystal clear creek Like the gentle touch of a hand or like wrinkles that show the true beauty of knowledge and wisdom that runs bone deep Like the kind of love which makes a person feel whole no matter how different they might be Like flowers that blossom in springtime or like pine needles that bud on a tree You're 100% natural and no matter how old your spirit or age may be they will always run ramped and always be free but there might be a time when you feel like you're stuck between a rock and something that's hard to conceive. This is when it's important to ask yourself, "how long will this feeling last or when will it finally leave?" For as you mature on your life's journey try to play it like a cello; slowly and smoothly or like a set of bongo drums that sometimes sound like a heartbeat, because as you grow older you become more like a fine wine with tannins that taste so sweet so try to savior the moments when you're alone and take a birthday tip from me; stop to smell the roses and look closely and what you see then try to enjoy the calmness, of nature's gentle breeze.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.

Twenty-Four Hours The morning finds me standing alone beneath sunbeams that beat upon my tethered and worn skin. Dew drop kisses cover my lips; The perspiration of mother earth’s hard work. I can’t see the earth on its axis, but the proof exists as daybreak descends on nightfall; A palette filled with illuminating stars which surround a moon; Creating shadows in the trees and on hillsides where owls hoot and wolves howl. Once again the creator watches as light turns to darkness; The end of a new day.
