Where this came from
I don’t know
It took my by surprise.
A pleasant surprise?
I’ll let you know
when I’m done!

A pleasant surprise?
I’ll let you know
when I’m done!
Rebellious.
Not Understood.
Vying for independence.
Wanting equality.
Struggling for identity.
Whose to say
Who is wrong?
Some things
can only be learned
the hard way.
Some do not
know how to read
another person’s body language.
It is hard.
It took me years.
My kids are doomed
to repeat my mistakes.
Temperatures drop.
Windchill factor.
Blankets piled high.
Bundle up.
Brave the outside
Only by necessity.
Today is a day
for cuddling with the cats
curled up on the couch
with hot beverages.
Small apartment.
Twelve or
Fifteen kids.
Cats.
Six of them.
The overwhelming desire
of needing to get out of there!
Searching the skies.
Answers needed.
Decision hard to come.
Frustration builds.
The skies do not answer.
Prayers feel powerless.
Yet instinct tells me.
My computer is wrong!
It makes me happy
to watch them play.
Running around
chasing each other.
The younger accepting the older.
The older happy to be included.
All my kittens are adorable!
The Disappointment
The Relief
The Understanding
The Regret
of not being the one to have canceled first.
You know what you know
You do what you do
You learn as you learn
But was it expected?
Did you think you would
learn that what you know
is not the same as what you do?
Concentration is shot
Distractions find me easily
Sleep seems normal
The amount is weak
Food nourishes
but when did I eat last?
