The call

unexpected

Taken without thought

Offer the empathy required

Visit them if needed

Love them unconditionally

Have their back

because how often

have they had yours!

Time together

Eat, drink and talk

Listen to the stories

Get the connection

without the phones

No electronics

Help prepare the meal

Be present in the moment

And love thy family

even if they disagree

Fighting becomes a way of life

If all you ever know is us versus them

how can they possibly be humans?

The world crashes down

when society realizes that everyone

is a human being and controlling them

no matter how small

is wrong,

So lift everyone up

even if they are wrong

because in their eyes

you are the mislead ones.

I hide the controller

in places that are obvious

if someone actually is looking

yet it means the child

must hunt for it

before they can use it

to go on the Xbox in the middle of the night

She is soft and cuddly

she looks so innocent

with her big eyes

in her tiny face

and yet

when she sees him

the male cat

she turns evil

and possessive

chasing and hissing

and scaring him away

from me

No longer are they friends

and it saddens me

All because

she wants me all to herself

When the mind forgets its normal routines

And the body relaxes more than it should

Oh does the world become loose

and unfulfilled by mere thoughts

of what should have been done

as opposed to what actually happened

Still good can come out of such weird juxtapositions

as routines become reminded of what is expected

and renewed energy is brought forth

from the mini home vacation

 

Melon is the secret ingredient

for the flavor and the light colouring.

It is soft and moist

delicious in its fluffiness

and deserving of high praise.

I have never tasted it

but that is because I do not like Melons.

Looking at the problems and not ignoring them

Trying to mitigate the damage before it comes

Finding possible solutions for when the inevitable happens

or

Hiding your head in the sand ignoring the problems

Waiting for things to happen and then scream “Help!”

Grabbing onto the first solution even if it is bad

The difference is what you struggle with

and where it leads you

Calling in sick

Not plugging in the vehicle last night

Keeping a healthy child home from school

Not eating supper for two nights in a row

Waking up and playing on your computer in the middle of the night

This is what moms who are sick do

What’s the consequences

of traveling back

and informing

your younger self

of the horrendous mistakes

you made?

You would be making yourself smaller

and yet we still want to

so on with the experiments

and see what time has to offer.
