The mean sister
pushes off the youngest.
Ensuing retaliation in the form of tickles.
Laughter echoes through the house
as everyone joins in!
These are the mornings to enjoy!
Feeling Irate
Helpless.
Anxious.
Insecure
and wanting protection.
Afraid.
Unsure.
Desperate
not having the answers.
Injustice.
Unfair.
Doubts
about rightful conduct!
Who can blame a parent when it comes to the future of their child?
Who dares to make them angry?!
Cute and Cuddly
The warmth of their body lying next to yours.
When they fall asleep on your lap.
The chest cuddles are a favorite when the purring begins.
The sense of belonging and of being loved.
Any animal shows you how they care.
Some have scales or wings
while others have fur and paws.
All are adorable and love to give us love!
Panic Attack Imminent
That constricted air flow.
The tears that refuse to stop.
The stomach churning that hurts!
The esophagus that gags in time in with each churn of the stomach.
Dizziness and a headache.
Inability to think properly.
Hyper awareness of the surroundings.
Shaking of the digits before limbs begin to follow.
Not all of these come at the same time.
But today is something different!
Old Man
His body is still warm to the touch.
He has a large nose.
When he turns his head
his salt and pepper hair is tousled.
His bum rests on my thighs
as I spoon him in bed,
my breasts pressed up against his back.
I listen to his breath
as he sleeps content to be next to this man.
He says he is old but I think he has ripened wonderfully!
The Meek
How do you know when being strong
is no longer enough?
When the only option is to fall apart
because all others have been exhausted!
The reserves are drained and no longer filling back up.
You can no longer continue with the pressure placed upon you!
You break because you cannot stay together
and yet only you can be the one who must carry on!
This world has forsaken the weak
and I weep for the fallen.
Goodness Gracious
When too much
is not enough!
The holy trinity
is encapsulated in one!
A fire has broken out in hell and
there is actually a pail of water to put it out!
Getting a free sandwich
without asking for one!
To be grateful
for the things that are good
regardless of who they benefit!
Fall Mornings
The crispness of the air
smells wonderful
as coffee is sipped in silence.
The neighbourhood is quiet
only a few morning sounds
echoing along the streets
as more people wake up.
As the sun rises so does the city.
It will be a busy day.
But not yet.
Another sip of coffee before I go back in to get ready myself.
Being Angry
People say inappropriate things.
People get mad.
Someone does something that hurts you.
What differences does it make?
What is the problem?
How can this be solved?
Anger is an emotion.
One that is given bad press.
It leads people to do to bad things.
Getting rid of anger is impossible.
It will always be with us.
So the problem is…
How can we channel the anger into a problem solving path?
One that allows us to use that energy for good!
Weather Friends
Fall is here.
Winter is holding her hand.
Winter is telling Fall what to do.
I really do not think they are friends.
Winter just decided that he did not want to wait his turn!
