if I were to look at my life
at what “could’ve” been
I’d go insane
but sometimes I think
that’s what my kids do
and then my heart aches for them

For me, it’s easy to let go of the past, but when someone dear to me “catches” it and throws it back at me, THAT’s the hard part and that’s when I crumble.
When Others Won’t Let Go
For me, it’s easy to let go of the past, but when someone dear to me “catches” it and throws it back at me, THAT’s the hard part and that’s when I crumble.
Well, this is one of those writing moments when I hope it’s private, meaning I hope no one I know face to face will ever read it, so it may seem strange for me to write it, but if I don’t let out what’s going on inside of me, I’m afraid I might drown in tears, so here’s to taking a risk.

“No Age Limit”
wouldn’t you think
EVERY child would want
to love their mother
to honor and respect
the one who loves them so Continue reading

There’s something I want to write about but don’t have all the words roaming around inside (yet) but still feel led to write, so here we go.
Since some of you haven’t read all my posts, I’ll bring you up to speed. Continue reading
“Seeds”
how far does the apple

“In the Corner”
when a child’s in time-out
they sit or stand
and wait
to play
to talk
to move
just thinking
about what’s next

“Background Music”
right now
I share a room with
my kids
so as I read
my bible
I hear their breathing
of deep sleep
I’ll miss that
different rooms
different state
different normals
but my excitement
overrides
the missing
I’m so excited
to be in this
new chapter
this new book
pages lined with
love
adventure
discovery
will people miss
the struggling
the loneliness
the barely-making-it
words
there’s no telling
some like to read about
pain
some like to read about
love
some
don’t see a difference
every day
is only the beginning
of what you make of it
“Passing the Buck”
choosing between
mom and dad
it’s not in the bible
but life’s choices
writes stuff in
Kyle says
don’t give them a choice
then they might hate themselves
for making the wrong one
it’s better for them to hate you
for making it for them
getting over hating others
will happen
over time
but
hating one’s self
can be permanent
