every day
I break down
at least once
there’s been this sense of
lack
of responsibility
one less mouth to feed
one less child to wake
less clothes to wash
one less attitude to correct
one less
clearly I found
part of my identity
in being a mom
so if you find that part of me
let me know
if you can’t see your beauty
wear it
all last week
I felt ugly
until Friday
when I wore makeup
maybe it helps
to get “dolled up”
before you go inside
and see what’s wrong
putting on a face
helped me
step through
the looking glass
friends aren’t there
to
solve all your problems
they’re there
to make you laugh
as
you work through them
it’s easy to read
and believe
especially when it’s from
a pure heart
but
can
any
one
be
d

?
can one
so pure
hear the wrong direction
to follow
if time will tell
it better learn how to talk
In life, there’re many types of glue: people; laughter; friends…and over the past month, Katie and I’ve learned a lot about the friendship one.
Since we’ve been in Texas, it’s been rough for a few reasons, but none of them are as important as what we’ve discovered along the way. Continue reading

every moment
time goes by
every second
not to return
there
did you miss it
another one
passed by
I’ve taken so much
for granted
including time
[written 10/21/16]
do you ever realize
you’ve run out of time
you didn’t take enough photos
too little to late?
how do you get past that?
you accept
that IT was enough
that YOU’re enough
and you move on
living one moment at a time
in heaven
I bet there won’t be mirrors
because we’ll be see thru
so why not start here
in sight
is my body
full figured
hanging skin
wrinkles forming
resemblance
outta sight
is my soul
good parts and
bad
renewed and
old
which leaves
my spirit
Free to move
Free to laugh
Free to be love
and soar
I’m not sure
what makes it to heaven
the only thing dying
will be the outside
leaving the goodness of my soul
and spirit
to see through
bringing heaven on earth
through transparency
writing out bad
to get to the good
so the enemy of mirrors
won’t haunt me
and because of the effect
it has here on earth
I KNOW there’ll be laughter
in heaven
it’s a terrible thing
to be in a marriage
and feel alone
how could invisible walls
be so concrete
how could silence
last so long
when one budges
the other moves away
and when the other budges
the one moves away
is there a solution worth hearing
is there advice worth listening to
do the days
turn into years
do the moments
become a lifetime
every time I stretch to jump
the hurdle gets higher
every time I give up
the water rises
and as each of my kids
jump onto a boat
I’m left behind
sinking
