My School Days at Nine 

Friendship is like a blooming flower, 
Keeps growing until it's in full bloom, 
Showing kindness and love as reflected; 
The friendship remains our joyful destiny. 

As classmates we met like two butterflies, 
Floating around full of vigor and devotion, 
Just searching for a friendship so sweet, 
I found total serenity and compassion. 

The friendship blossomed and bloomed, 
Clearing away all fear and all doubts, 
Finally it happened while walking one night, 
Now the flower had kept growing ever since. 

I respect the friendship and loyalty, too, 
With more trust and passion each day, 
Now our future grows and brightly glows, 
Today the loving relationship is a rose. 

-Motivated by communication with Mother Nature, 
Great spirit and relate. My school days at nine 
instilled a love of friendship of everlasting happiness. 

-Cheerful Charlie. May, 1928- May, 1998 
70 years of poetical embraces. Romeo! 

Special! Miracles do happen! 
"Charlotte, Goddess of Empathy" 

As I look into your sparkling blue eyes, 
I see absolute compassion and serenity, 
The tangible feelings, with each visit, make my day; 
Someone who makes life beautifully, so sweet. 

You take me away from voids of emptiness, 
To explore new unique ways to enjoy life, 
Making me feel more empathy truly make my day. 

I look out into space and see your lovely face, 
To cherish a warm heart with ardent friendship, 
Having no fear of experiencing any harm 
To deeply touch my heart, longing for more love. 

As I walk each day to achieve my goals, 
You are always near to reassure, to restore, 
To keep striving and attempts going it alone, 
Your love deeply touches my soul to inspire. 

Whenever I watch the prismatic rays of sunset, 
It truly enlightens my spirit intellectually, 
To remain a fun-loving, exhilarating Romeo, 
Suddenly my heart beats magical throbs of love. 

I dedicate this poem to Charlotte, my personal, ardent, intimate friend. 
My theme evolves around all aspects of life, including relationship, 
Mother Nature, Great Spirit, and reality. Love--aloha! 
Catholic, 55 years, today. 
Awesome! Fantastical! The ultimate. C.W.H. 

Two Lovely Valentine Hearts 

The touching of two lovely valentine hearts, 
Blessing our days and warming our nights, 
Filling our hearts and blending our souls, 
With everlasting happiness, love and laughter. 

The touching of two lovely valentine hearts, 
Love and beauty of the Aphrodite Goddess, 
Wisdom and artistry of the Athena Goddess, 
Corolla and whirls of the Azalea Goddess. 

The touching of two lovely valentine hearts, 
Beautiful blue eyes of rainbow arc of hue, 
Feeling the strength of permeate air breathed, 
Gleam in the smile of the pearly white teeth. 

The touching of two lovely valentine hearts, 
Creating rainbows for few precious moments, 
The music from cabin sounds very grand, 
and miracles created our most heavenly magic. 

The touching of two lovely valentine hearts, 
Cannot escape the rapture that's captured. 
The loving friendship that remained strong, 
With essence of beauty lighting our life. 

May this poem instill the love and romantical existence and joy of 
our life which is the birthright of all. 
The very essence of being. 
Love, love!
