Building Brays Blessing

all things laced with memories

always makes a statement

to me-it's like a blessing

from those loved-

the people that shaped

my life with creativity

& a desire to make

magical memories

it's really the only way

I know to do things

&

it always means more to me

than probably anyone else!

thanks for the memories

magic!
