Wear a mask
Social distance when in public
Be careful
Stay six feet away
Stay inside
Don’t see friends
Do not visit restaurants
or stores
unless necessary
Go crazy
from the isolation
and not getting any breaks from the children!
Fear the plague
and maybe don’t be a jerk to your neighbours?
When the times are bleak
They still want to see you.
When times are good
Laughter fills up your soul.
When times are stressful
They help relieve the burdens.
They are what make life worth living for.
Wiped out
Drained
Emotionally unstable
Forgot to take pills
Exhausted
Body wants sleep
Brain wants awake
Body sorta winning
Too many things to do
Yet no motivation
oh
and it’s raining
meh
what a day
It is not often
I am up for the sun’s arrival.
In the grey misty light
sipping my coffee
I contemplate
what the world
offers me.
Or at least
for the day ahead of me.
She’s the cutest thing
you ever did see.
Sleek and black
and sometimes elegant.
Ferocious in a heartbeat
when jealousy attacks
then calm and collected
as if nothing was the matter.
She is a cat
after my own heart.
Always learning
never stagnant
Finding out unknown strengths
or honing previous ones
Time spent
in education
whatever form
is always valuable
Confidence
is the greatest skill of all
Patience is a virtue
and most of the time
I can distract myself
to look like
I am being patient.
But really
enough is enough!
Can you not just call me already!
Baked on
only to be scraped off.
Thought out
up until that point.
Attempting to remember
doesn’t help.
So go with the flow
as the baking goes on.
Just don’t ask
what flavour.
Unthinking
Gullibly
Foolishly
But never maliciously
or cruelly
would I do anything
to harm you
or put you in harms way.
When you care
and can do the punishments
required to motivate the child.
When the atmosphere
is conducive to making
that particular someone
understand
that smoky kitchens
are not what breakfast should be made of.
As thankful as you are
for the burnt food
things need to be cleaned
afterwards!
