An Ode From A Dorky Dork
I am forever a dorky dork kind of girl
As a child, I was wild and untamed
I had not a single care in the world
Just let me be free and wild
A gangly, homely, curly red, wild-haired, freckle-faced girl
Who loved to climb trees and play in the mud
Who swam in mud puddles
Staring up into the skies
Filled with an imagination as vast as there are stars in the sky
Still a curly, red-haired, freckle-faced girl
Who loves the mountains and trees
Who loves all of the spectacular wonders that nature offers for us to see
If we will only pause for a moment and allow the world to come into our hearts
Nature and all its splendor are what sets our world apart!
Get out and love the trees and mountains and the world that we are privileged to share!
Not ours!
It’s borrowed, can’t you see?
So, hug a tree and sit a spell
Marvel at the beautiful, healing magic in the forest
And, for goodness sake, pick up a piece of trash
Stare in wonder at the magnificence all around
You only get a moment
So, appreciate all of it while it’s here
Some of you have been handed diamonds
And you treat it like dirt
We are all brilliant
If you take the time to look and see
Sit back and let the world see your sparkle
Shine my darlings
Shine brilliantly
Little Bird
Pitter Patter
Pitter Patter
Are the sounds
The delights of Mother Nature are all around
Listen to the song the birds sweetly sing
Listen to his happy, chirpy little melody
He has no worries in this world
He goes about his day delighted in the world
He chirps gleefully to share his song
He goes about his day with a song in his heart
Pitter Patter
Pitter Patter
Are the sounds
A song teaching us to love the beauty in the world is playing all around
Calm your heart, quiet your world
Pause for a moment, and then you will hear
The sweetest melody of a love song being played for you to hear

The Storm
Pitter patter are the sounds
Teardrops falling down
Falling like raindrops
Silent storm rages all around
I sit in the quiet
I sit here wishing you were here
I sit here waiting for you
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for you
Pitter Patter are the sounds
Shattered fragments all around
The Storm rages on, and I still wait
And want you here
Another weekend, and
I want you here
Another holiday passes me by, and
I wait
Wanting you right fucking here
Forever
My heart
My love

The Dreamer
His eyes are like oceans
No one knows the exact depths
Filled with extraordinary thoughts
Full of mystery, compassion and incredible dreams
He has a way of looking right through you into your soul
He may not be Superman
But he is everything
He is my mine
Those eyes will love you to your core
Those eyes
Those eyes
That man means everything to me
I will stand by him for all eternity
Treasured
His arms
So strong and surround me in his love
His body
Surrounds me in his loving embrace
I love that he fights for me and protects me
Gently, Umair pulled me into this world of love
Where I am his queen
Where I am his princess
Where he is my King
Where he is my prince
Where I am loved, and he is loved
We meet in the place where lovers meet
It is here that loving you is easy
Getting you home in our home is a much bigger task
Life is full of ups and downs
You are my constant
And I am yours
What is this beautiful, magical love that must have been sent from above
Gently we teach each other of love, compassion, faithfulness, and grace
Pull me into your arms
At the end of every single day
Pull me in your arms
At the start of every day
Pull me in your arms all the moments in between, for there is where I always want to be
Frustration
So, not my usual poem and sonnets about Umair. Tonight, as I grab myself by the boot straps (I’m not actually wearing any boots!) and compose myself emotionally. Preparation for the USCIS case is a little bit … frustrating. People every day go with random people but because my husband is from another country I have to prepare massive amounts of material to document we are a real couple. I mean anyone feel free to chime in! Just next level frustration tonight! I want our case file to be perfect, submitted and Umair to be able to come home! Feel free to comment about your own journey if you want! I can’t say I will have any amazing words of advice but I will listen and tell you it’s gonna be ok. Hugs and love Lynn
ps anyone looking at any of our photos can certainly see we are a real couple! Not meat popsicles!
Perfectly
A kaleidoscope of colors shines down on me
The sun’s rays reach out
Softly beckoning to me
Warm, soft, sweet caresses from the sun
All remind me of your love
A flurry of sounds breezes through the wind
Whoosh
Swish
The wind reminds me softly of the words you whisper to me
All reminders of your love
Your love
Your love
A love that was made perfectly for me

Umair’s Symphony
Listen to the birds in the trees
Chirp
Chirp
Chirping out what you mean to me
Do you hear their sweet melody
They sing sweetly of the love story that began with you and me
Listen to the trees flowing in the breeze
Whoosh
Whoosh
The whooshing of the branches
The branches tell the tale of you dancing with me and twirling me around
Listen to the sounds from the leaves
Crunch
Crunch
The crunch of the leaves under our feet
All the sweetest sounds of nature sing the song of love
from me to you
From you to me
You are everything, all that I am
The world calls out a love story created for you and me and turned it into a brilliant love story written in symphony
I have never asked for anything except for you right next to me
