Denial

When I pop my earthly clogs,
what mark will I leave?
What are my true passions and
in what do I believe?
Will I inspire with
decisions I have made?
Or will vague thoughts about me
just wither and fade.
Am I sure or am I
wishy washy with ideas,
am I true to my beliefs or
am I overwhelmed with fears?
Do I put off thoughts like this,
'cause I won't need them for a while,
do I have conviction or
am I in denial?

Washing

Shirts jump and leap and sway,
a gloriously sunny day.
The wind begins and takes a chance,
the threads respond and start to dance.
Great spirit in those clothes of mine,
inhibitions? freedom? It's a fine line.

New day

I mess up through my weakness,

There for all to see,

Thank you that your grace is

Sufficient for me.

Unfair

Zapped of their energy, lethargic and slow,

Got up and gone has their get up and go.

We are embarrassing (but we don’t care)

And it’s totally true, life is just so unfair.

End of the world if The hair is a flop and

Energy raised then to tantrum and strop.

If allowed they would lie in til way past eleven,

Conversation is met with eyes raised to heaven.

Feisty and gorgeous, flat tummies, small bums,

BUT they still love to cuddle their mums! (Phew)

Cut off

Can’t charge my phone,

Feel alone, want to moan.

Can’t phone a friend,

so pretend that I will send-

a lovely letter.

Can’t charge my phone,

Feel alone, want to moan.

Am a mother and a wife,

Note to self, get a life-

feel slightly better.

Procrastination Part Two

(Was going to write it sooner, but didn’t get round to it)

Life is for the living but it’s sometimes put on hold,

As we focus on the mundane leaving dreams out in the cold-

Which is fine if we enjoy it, but quite often we don’t,

The chance is there to seize the day but know full well we won’t.

We look forward to exciting plans or when we have been paid,

But we need to be careful that our dreams don’t start to fade.

Buried in the daily grind or swept away with dirt,

the space that they will leave behind may one day turn to hurt.

Let’s savour the moments in our life that make us “Wow”

and celebrate and live in the awesomeness of NOW!

Those who can

Listens, encourages,
nurtures, protects,
tolerates, tackles,
reassures and accepts.
Sees the potential and
rescues and reaches,
develops the dreams,
inspires and teaches.
