Sugar Plums and Stardust

Three sugar plum fairies woke with stardust eyes,

their laughter bright beneath the skies.

They sought the weary, hearts turned blue,

to mend their dreams and make them true.

Their smirk veiled by a smile,

and whispers heard softly, warm and clear.

They promised joy to all far and near.

“More stardust!” they sang,

spreading hope as they flew like humming birds,

whizzing by—

seeking more stardust in the sky.

Three fairies woke with stardust eyes,

and in the night, so calm and deep,

they sowed sweet sparks where dreamers sleep.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
