it's the first time i've ever
the cause was a fundraising luncheon
for my son's college lacrosse team
he's one of the captains of the team
and it made me so proud to contribute
the necklace is worn as a wrap
once around the neck as tight or loose as you like
then the ends beautifully folded over one another
and left to dangle, pretty like
the lady who won my treasures in the auction
was thrilled exclaiming "they're just my color!"
as she wrapped the necklace around her
i thought to myself - what a perfect fit
simply beautiful on her
and the best part of all?
my son won the coaches award
for character, integrity and sportsmanship
at the luncheon that day
the smile on mine and my husbands faces
the pride and love for our son
glowing all shiny like
life in all it's unexpected excitement
being the best kind of sparkly of all...
-t.
p.s. please excuse the random spacing gaffs - blogger and i were having difficulty agreeing on how this post should go. blogger won.
How exciting!! What an honor for your son. You and your hubby SHOULD be so proud!! (I am beginning to realize that raising a son worthy of an honor in character, integrity and sportsmanship is NOT an easy thing to do... you both should get shiny medals too!!! j/k!!)
ReplyDeleteA note on the blogger spacing issue - I am totally with you on the on-going battles. It seems to goes haywire when you put your photos in. Try adding the photos first and then position the text around them.
That's such cool news to hear about your son, I can only imagine how proud you were and can see you beaming with pride.
