Birth

Dedicated to my 3 beautiful kids!

Birth

I waited so long to see you
and imagined your beautiful
face a million times plus one

I went through numerous lists
to find out what to call you
when the waiting’s finally done

I thought of a thousand things
that could go wrong
and keep us apart forever

I dreamnt a hundred dreams
where we danced
and sung lullabyes ever after

I labored to bring you into this world
so I could hold you dear

You gave me strength to push on
and persevere

Then we met
and the universe cheered…

Paradise

Day 22.

A path paved with taffy
A strawberry flavored river
Powdered sugar dusted flowers
And rocks made out of toffee

Clouds of cotton candy
Hills of scoops of ice cream
Pink lemonade brooks and streams
And an ocean of coffee

Lollipops grow like weeds
Truffles sprout from trees
Caramel flowers bloom in threes
And cocoa roasted almond seeds

Each bite comes with a dose of bliss
(With vitamins and minerals packed in)
And zero grams of fat to keep me thin…
A fictional paradise it truly is!

Gathering. Letting.

The ears hear the harsh words

The skin feels the cold ground

The eyes see the selfish world

The hands hold the empty can

The nose smells the scent of defeat

The brain calculates the odds of life

The heart gathers it all in

The lungs let the last breath out…
