I am alive

by the good graces

of God.

I shall die

when it is

my Time.

In between

is where I

get to Decide.

Coffee or Tea?

Expectations create excitement.

A sense of achievement

should the desired effect happen.

Crash the system

and the heart falls to despair.

It supports life.

Necessary for sustenance.

Its uses are many.

It is science’s favorite tester.

As I grow older

I am finding

to avoid the headaches

It is necessary for me

to intake the daily consumption.

Coffee is my love

but Water is my Saviour.

My feet are gone.

The dust has settled.

Numbness has taken over.

There are people to ignore.

I am unable to walk away.

It has always been

get the gold for the win.

With the gold

you get the money

to live out your dreams.

So the cheats and the swindlers

prey on the dreamers.

To this day

I still do not recognize them

as they take away my dreams.

The universal cry

of the slighted child

“You’re so Mean!”

When discipline happens

and the fun has to stop.

Or their repeated requests

for that “special” something is denied.

Out comes the hurtful attack.

So yes, I am the mean mom

and someday they will thank me for it.

Just not today.

I do not fight for you.

I strive for excellence

and worth

for the betterment of myself.

I am nobody’s hero.

I am the hero I need.

Our feet move us.

Dance is our joy.

We walk where they take us.

For those who can not

or have not

the use of these miracle appendages

a single step

despite the pain

gives an overwhelming joy!
