Everyone does it

at some point in their lives.

It just matters when

they stop running

and deal with finding the solutions

head on.

Until then,

keep running

and find your time

running out!

Always seeing something

Shiny!

Trying to keep attention

on…

Oh my

what’s that?

What am I going to do now?

No work

done today.

The ritual has been started

The cats have been fed

Coffee has been brewed

and sipped slowly

The evil snow blowers

scare the cats

even though they can not get inside.

Other than breakfast

made and eaten

the ritual

is almost complete.

 

Head pounding

Body sluggish

Too many things to do

and yet I survive

Movement needed

and I run my errands

Rewards are naps

and steaming mugs of tea

How I wish it were that simple

To know evil

and merely combat it

without all the grey areas

that surround me.

 

The regular worries

of responsibilities forgotten

as talking and laughing

and game playing

were happening.

I relaxed.

I enjoyed myself.

I am glad it is over.

And I look forward to the next time

I can see my friends again.

Worries compounded

Stress doubled

Ability hampered

Faith wavering

Senses dulling

Fear not as constant

but still there

Age is a number

but being a child at heart

does not always mean happiness

 

Overwhelmed

Confused

Uncertain as to what to do

The situation is unexpected

and so research

and understanding are needed

Alas ignoring it only makes it worse.

Such a delicious sinful delight

Each bite pure pleasure

waking up in a happier mood

and knowing the day

will be good despite

any problems that should occur

When tact is required

and you want to be honest

You have to find a way to do both

Telling a child

that Santa won’t be coming

to leave them a present

is something they refuse to believe.

Still, you try to prepare them

and make do with the little you have.

Christmas is a time for family

and when your beliefs never included

the jolly fat guy

it is hard to be respectful for your child.
