Word?
Mania?
What should I say?

Um, yeah.
We don’t remember
Memory problems
Are usually laughed about.
Did I remember to turn off the oven?
The door was locked right?
Do you have your wallet?
So let me ask you something.
Can you remember who I am?
Making Art
Creativity.
It is good for the soul.
Joy is found in the little things.
Details only matter
if you choose to let them.
Perfection is not everything.
The finished work
is always beautiful.
Drop Out
What do you do
when your child
is a drop out?
Do you encourage them
to be whatever they want to be?
Do you express
your disappointment and anger?
Do you succumb
to the despair of being a failed parent?
Or do you try to continue
to figure out the best things
for both of you?
If I could write a book
If I could write a book
it would mean I believed in myself.
If I could write a nook
it would show those who had no faith in me.
If I could write a book
it would mean I did what I dreamed of.
If I could write a book
I would be happy.
If I could write a book
and people liked it
is something I still dream of.
One Night
Only a series of hours.
Sleep.
Tossing and turning.
Missing them.
Wishing I could have brought them with me.
Happy to be home.
Cuddles amid the purrs.
Glad to hear their meows.
Hoping
Reality crashes through
the expectations
or more realistically
the estimated results desired.
Time flies by quicker
and you are forced to realize
what you hoped for
is probably just
an overly optimistic wish.
When your kids Fight
Whether they use words or fists,
Hisses or claws,
It simply breaks a mother’s heart
each time it happens.
Helplessness is never a great feeling.
Yet sometimes all you can do is show you love them.
No matter who instigated the fight.
Watch out
Signs will show.
Things change.
Behaviours once common
now become distinct in their absence.
Everybody’s welfare must be met.
Including the pets.
They are family after all.
Treats no Tricks
Holiday is coming up.
Chocolate is preferred.
Some may like the eggs.
Or the bunnies of marshmallow.
Just don’t prank the kids on the morning thereof.
