Amusement park closed
Daddy carries his daughter
Passed out in his arms
+
A boat on the sea
Waves carry the brave sailor
Forward towards home
+
Through the fire and flames
One by one he carried them
No man left behind

I kept hearing these songs when I wrote this.
I thought I would share.
Young wounded soldier
Nurse tends to his many wounds
Hearts fill up with love
+
Mom comforts her child
Mending a small tiny cut
Causing lots of tears
+
Two angry brothers
Hatred spewed throughout the years
Now mending their bonds
+

Kids are waking up
I pour coffee down my throat
Caffeine starts my day

For Parts 1-3, start here:
Simple things in life
Faith, kids, love, and family
Make the world go round

I think on certain days of the week when I have no Haiku in the tank I am going to do what I did this morning. I thought of the first word that came to mind. I then sat down and wrote a Haiku based off that word. SIMPLE was the word that came to mind. If you want to you can join in. Right a Haiku or Poem or even small story based off the word SIMPLE. Post it to your blog and leave me a link below. Might be something fun to get us all motivated to write.
Early wake up call
Baby almost getting there
Sleeping through the night
+
Stout cup of coffee
Yawns starting to multiply
Sleep deprivation
A lonely playground
Ringing in the winter air
Echos of summer
+
Cold day at the park
Swings, slides, sand, and equipment
Waiting for the kids
+
Baby girl sleeping
Tucked away in sweet slumber
Dreaming happy thoughts
+
I’ve been listening to this song for a long time, and now it resonates with me so much more. I thought I would post it along with this Haiku today. My girl is only 5 days old, and yes, I am making her a Parrothead already.
+
Autumn happiness
A child brought into the world
My little daughter
+
Became a dad on 10/19/2015 for a second time. My baby girl is another precious gift. Newborn days ahead – see you for a while sleep.
