The gravesite is a place of memorial.
The fast-food joint is for dinner.
The school is for learning.
The home is for protection and comfort.
My home is under the bridge next to a cemetery.

Argument Time
How can I help someone
when they refuse to be accountable
for all the troubles they cause?
Swearing only makes things worse.
Yet yelling makes the tears flow
and bad feeling come out.
Can the argument have been avoided?
Probably.
But right now, frustration
has let all these emotions loose.
Patience and tolerance
can only take you so far.
Pain as we know it
Unexpected things happen.
Bumps, bruises or cuts.
Deliberate causes are ignored.
Why should you
have to explain
your emotional intelligence
to anyone else.
It is not
that they would understand
the reason you cry all day long
after spilling the cat food on the floor.
Sticky Embrace
Wrapped up in the blankets.
Cuddling from the cold weather.
Can’t wait until we can get home
And take a long shower.
Camping can be fun
But there are obvious limits
To my patience.
Relationship Goals
When he snores
And you find it cute.
When you pluck out
The moustache hairs because he will kiss you more.
When he leaves you alone
So you can finally have some quiet time away from the kids.
When he wants to play with you
But you tell him to play with himself
And he does.
When you are in the mood
And he is too
And you laugh together
Because you know he loves you.
Little Steps
One day at a time.
Celebrate the little wins.
Don’t expect everything to change all at once.
Because if it did you might find
nothing actually changed
because you did not change with it.
Rollercoaster Emotions
Hormones are to blame.
So says science.
Not just a “Get a hold of yourself!”
“Stop your crying or I will give you something to really cry about!”
Too bad people are now deciding that science is also not to be trusted.
Bullies
The never-ending saga.
The reason some people feel the need to hurt others
is a concept I have not always been able to understand.
Especially when it is my child they hurt.
Frada
What’s in a name?
Is it cultural?
Familial?
Or simply a whim by the parents?
Whatever you are called
please realize
You are the one who makes that name worthwhile!
Jeans
Denim work wear.
Made to be comfortable.
Versatile and easy to clean.
A long viable history.
Where one can see the impact made on fashion.
Where else can jeans and a tshirt
be heralded as chic.
