"Hail Mary Full of Hope" a poem I wrote a few years back; I think it was after a Catholic funeral. Enjoy. #Poetry

[full_width]

Hail Mary full of Faith,

How does your garden bloom?

With cannabis and playlists,

Heads turn when you enter the room.

Your voice, they enjoy,

Your skills of deep thinking,

Your smile they employ,

Third eye open,

No blinking.

Hail Mary full of Dreams,

You'll never give up.

You've lived through fear,

survived abuse,

It's not for nothing,

then what's the use.

There is a purpose to live;

To fight for truth.

Hail Mary Full of Love,

You have so much in you.

Your hearts been shattered,

you've picked up the pieces,

and

You always pull through.

Nothing is impossible,

Nothing is real,

Nothing lasts forever,

And with time, we all heal.

Hail Mary full of Hope,

The future belongs to you.

All time has,

All time is,

open to what you want to do.

No time like now, it's all we share.

Life's too short

Life's not fair.

Hail Mary Full of Chaos

You're not the only one,

We all have issues, we all fall short.

Enjoy the journey 'til its done.

"My, one day to be a Man" By @TheMaryMaxine #Poetry

Oh, little man.

My one day,

to be a man,

this little man,

growing up,

as fast as he can.

Learning more,

than I'll ever know.

I hope I'm helping you

learn and grow.

I will try to understand,

what it is to be a man.

Though I am not,

I have a plan.

I will do my utmost.

Give it all I got.

Show you how to be,

and

how life's fought.

I love you little man,

my little,

one day to be a man,

I love you with all I am.

@Athemslegolife had his first @Lego birthday when he was 5y and we have been a #LegoFamily ever since.

Make sure to stop by www.TheLego.Life for more on LEGO

Anthem wanted a Lego themed birthday, and this is what I did....

I went online of course and found all the Lego stuff I could. I wasn't as easy then as it is now to find custom items. However at the time Lego had a Party Pack. In hide sight I wish I had bought extras to have.

ThePARTY PACK for incl.

10 Invitations
10 Birthday Lego Guy's
10 Lego Lic and activities
10 Lego Name tag
10 Thank you cards
1 Magnet

Once I sent put the invites. I started on the Pinata and decorations.

The pinata,takes a few days to make so I always start at least two weeks before the party to make sure its done on time.

I dont know that I saved time but I recycled and saved money by making Lego decorations.

I love cardboard!

Using boxes I had saved, and some Lego color scheme tissue paper, I made us some big Legos.

Looking back at younger us, I tried to be the Mexican Martha Stewart, even to this day I just like making things with my hands.

For a game I separated the all the wheels from my son's Lego's.

Once I separated 4 wheels and a steering wheel I would put them in a ZipLock.

There was 6 bags of wheels and steering wheels.

Using streamer paper we made a track to follow

Cut out numbers 1-6, as well as skip a turn and go again. Then put them in a bag.

They picked a team-mate and had 10 mins. to use what they got in the bag, and all of Anthem's other Lego's to make a vehicle.

Once the cars were built they pulled numbers and the first team to get to the end wins.

I am not the best cake decorator but I love to try and my children are the best at eating it anyway.

The cake....

For the Big Lego cake.

Bake a cake
Bake cupcakes.
cut the bottoms of the cupcake
used a little frosting like glue and places them on the cake.
Continue this until the cake looks like a Lego.

For Lego Head

You will need a square baking pan

small square pan or rectangle bread pan

Bake cakes
Cut to shape of Lego head
Frost

Mini Lego heads

I used a small square baking pan made cakes
and used tooth picks to attach yellow mini-marshmallows on the ends.

Of course the best way to continue with a building theme is with a BUILD YOUR OWN SUNDAE!

By far this has been the best Lego gift. This Lego head helps separate Lego's for you!!

There are three levels in the head.
Although it is noisy,
shake it and let the Legos fall inside.
All the small pieces fall to the bottom.
The rest are caught according to there size on a level in the head.

Here are some different designs and sizes you can pick from.
