Nothing beats noodles layered
with tomato sauced meat
flavoured with oregano
and mixed with onions and garlic.
Yet when the dish slips
and falls to the floor
supper is still needed
so broken up lasagna noodles
are added to the remaining meat sauce
allowed to simmer
and then we eat.
After I clean up the first mess.
Shower is done.
Laundry is started.
Groceries are still to be done.
Emails sent out.
Almost all the items from the list are complete.
Now for a break
and relax with company.
No time to clip them
Life is too busy and things are forgotten.
Time for bed
and in the morning new scratches
that are not from the cats.
Moths are just as beautiful as butterflies.
Dandelions are pretty just like roses.
Salad with dressing is also healthy.
A cat can be just as friendly as a dog.
No one needs to be seen as less worthwhile.
You are wonderful just like you are
and no one deserves to respect themselves more!
I told them it had to last
I told them to always leave me some
I told them
and they didn’t listen
Now I don’t even have a slorp or even a few droplets for my coffee
When bad things happen
they come to your rescue.
They bring you comfort
and solace when grief is overwhelming.
An accident or trauma
will find them by your side
holding your hand and just being there.
They do these things because they know you
and they know
that should these things happen to them
you would it all for them too!
Seeing someone and enjoying their company
as opposed to wanting to help them even if it is unpleasant.
Ordering the same food every time
as opposed to getting that special treat.
Finding the right moment to watch that show
instead of finding something to watch.
Seeing two things you like and realizing you have a favorite.
Like a Rose and Lilacs.
Both smell pretty,
but you know which one you prefer.
It is good for the soul.
Bitter, yet sweet.
It combines the heavens and hells
and gives them to you to eat.
Pimples be damned
Today I really need this treat.
As a kid
we would watch the horses
as they ambled up to us.
Sometimes it was to watch the cows
as they watched their calves.
Today the fences are metaphorical
and not nearly as interesting to watch from.
It is not always physical.
Sometimes it is being told something you should have known.
Being brought to the realization
that you need to do an extremely difficult action
not just for you but for those around you.
