"Mother's Ribbons" poem by Abigail Alexis~

~For my Mother who always did the best she knew how~

My mother was blissful, the day I was born,
and out of her hair, came the ribbon she'd worn,
Tied to a rattle, it stayed while I grew,
Looking so pretty, all silky, and new...

When I began walking, my mom sewed a dress,
and under the collar, in a bow, on the breast,
She attached that silk ribbon, no longer brand new,
But still my pride, all pretty and blue.

School days came, as I had grown tall,
I wanted my ribbon, but the dress was too small,
Mother lovingly snipped my ribbon, in two,
And attached each to it's own shoe.

To many new shoes, my ribbons I tied,
And then to my new bike, I was given to ride,
As I'd pedal faster, my ribbon would whirl,
tied to the handle bars, the blue silk would twirl.

College passed quickly..., and I met a boy,
Who's happiness was my every joy,
Before I knew it, I was his shy bride,
Wearing my ribbons, as I stood at his side.

When I became Mom, of not one, but two,
Twins opened their eyes, all silky and blue,
The love of a mother, two fold, had been passed,
And I knew, Mother's ribbons, in their souls... had been cast.

"Magical Magic Me" poem by Abigail Alexis~

Oh magic, magical me,
Unwind your golden tail,
Why must you hide away,
Unfurl your wondrous sail,
Dance on mystical oceans,
Walk on make believe seas,
Sail the dreams I wake for you,
Wake inside of me,
Open up my inner eyes,
Close those doors of doubt,
Spin for me a tale of tales,
Let your magic out,
Touch me with your fairy dust,
Douse from head to toe,
Lace me with your golden touch,
Let your magic flow,
Carry me so far away,
That I get lost in thee,
Weave for me a magical world,
Magical, magic me.
