February Lunchnotes 2022

To January we bid adieu~

and welcome in a month that's new,

midst winter's endless snow and sleet~

here's February with something sweet.

Reminders of my love, here, wrote~

a Valentine in each lunch note,

for February gives us cause~

on love to contemplate and pause.

And you, dear son, my heart's delight,
have made this life of ours shine bright! 

~~~

Outside our door the winter's cold,
the landscape bleak and bare,
inside there's laughter, kindred joy,
and warmth enough to spare.

The day may take you far from home,
out in that bitter chill,
take heart, no matter what may come,
our love is waiting, still.

~~~

Despite the frosty winter chill,
there's always warmth to be found still:
~It's in the hugs at start of day,
before you set out on your way.
~It's in the giddy squeals of joy,
when Henri sees his fav'rite boy.
~It's in the million little things,
that life within a family brings.

~~~

Day by day,
and year by year,
one thing's always been quite clear.

You are brilliant,
brave and bold,
you're a wonder to behold!

~~~

February is here once more,
bitter cold outside our door.
Inside, though, it's cozy...warm,
safe from any winter storm.
Here at home where love is grown,
is a sanctuary all your own.
Here you shelter from the chill,
here you know you are loved, still.

~~~

There's no sweeter thing that I know of,
than you and Henri and brotherly love.
The cozy cuddles, snug and tight,
the squeals and laughter of delight.
The way your eyes light up for him,
and how your homecoming makes him grin.
The moments, quiet, with books and toys,
the loving bond between my boys.

~~~

In those moments, dark and drear,
when you feel alone,
remind yourself, we're always here,
just waiting till you get home!
Love surrounds you, all day long,
as you live and grow
for to our family, you belong,
no matter where you go.

~~~

Henri and 'Hannes,
no better matched pair,
brotherly love,
beyond all compare.

The very best friends,
right from the start,
bonded for life,
like two halves of one heart.

~~~

A piece of me goes with you,
when out the door you go,
a piece of me that's part of you,
my very heart, you know.

You go out in the world each day,
my love tagging along,
surrounding you in love each day,
'til your back where you belong.

~~~
