Cindy Dunham

After her death I was sent to live with my Aunt and then later I was sent to my maternal Grandparents to live. As you can see I never knew where I was going to wind up living. While my brother was sent to my father's mother to live. And my sister was sent to foster care, while my father went into the army. Four years later he got remarried but my stepmother said that us children were not included. Being separated from my brother and sister was the hardest part of living without a Mother.

Author History

FB_IMG_1558735428272.jpg

As years went by I found a new me. At age 63 years old I learned I had the ability to write poems. I guess this is what when you lose your mother at age 3 1/2 years. After her death I was sent to my Aunt Doris, then I was sent to my Uncle Jack after a few months and then after a few more months I was sent to my Grandmother to live for the next seventeen years. While my brother was sent to my Father’s mother to live and my sister was put in foster care so my father could go into the army. When he got out he got married but we children weren’t part of the package. Being separated from my brother and sister was the hardest part to live through after my Mother died. It was definitely a learning process of how to grow up with help. However I did survive with God’s help and this is the end result.

Dedication

To my two Granddaughters Megan and Heather and my Great Granddaughter Jamie who at the time was only 7 years old typing my poems on the computer for me and the biggest partner of all was God who made it all possible

Portrait Of Barb

You have gorgeous hair

With a beautiful flair

It might

Be white

It’s just right

I love it with all my might

Your personality

Is a reality

You’re always sincere

You don’t have any fear

You’re always polite

You don’t look for a fight

You’re always caring

You’re daring

You’re never wearing

You help me to keep fairing

Time Together

We are as one

We have so much fun

You are so dear

I wish you lived near

As you get older

I know you won’t get bolder

Serenity is your theme

Just as it is with me

We make a good pair

We know how to share

Our time together

No matter what the weather

It’s a great time

Because we don’t whine

It’s our game

To remain the same

Special Treat

When we did meet

It was a special treat

You’re so sweet

You’re real neat

It’s sublime

When we spend time

Being together

Is so much better

Talking on the phone

Keeps me from being alone

Hearing you speak

Keeps me from being weak

You are wise

Without any lies

Thank you for being a friend

To the living end

Shopping

Time can be trying

Even if you’re buying

Looking around

When nothing can be found

Up and down the aisles

Is worse than going through trials

Especially if you can’t find

Something that will bind

With you

Maybe something blue

As long as you like it

Make sure it does fit

Shopping is your thing

Happiness does bring

You do enjoy

It gives you joy

Happy Birthday (From Frog & Me)

Here’s a frog leaping into another year

You don’t have to have any fear

You’re still young

You can still have fun

Friends always have a good time

It makes it sublime

Our friendship has no end

We’ve nothing wrong to mend

As friends, the time flies by

You can’t stop it if you try

We can talk for hours

All about the flowers

We never have a dull moment

Nor to each other, do we torment

We’re like frogs

Even tho’ we don’t jump from log to log

No Sense

Here’s my plan

To definitely land

On my feet

Instead of a heap

There is no sense

To take offense

Just because

Someone has a cause

To be spiteful

Even if they think
