Insomnia dreams
Another sleepless night Wondering about the world Unsure if I like myself As evil thoughts twirled Worries for the day, Some, not even mine Others of the night, From a land before time Replaying conversations Worrying about what was said All of these contribute To the storm in my head Then one thought emerges, A…

Easter morning
The Easter bunny is shy mommy, And doesn’t like to talk That’s the reason she runs away Before the light is up She wants to share her chocolate But has so much to do So she goes and hops away Before the night is through Kids devour their chocolates Until they feel rather ill Then…

Rebirth
The sun confronts a blade of grass Sparring with the dew; A robin leaps, its prey in sight The earthworm in danger new The coldness of the night is past As light replaces dark Life awakes on a sleepy earth Amidst winter’s landscape stark Spring is here; hear, hear, rejoice!

Young love
So it happened, although earlier, and not the child I expected it to happen with. Recently I was driving the children to school and happened to see a note my middle diva hadn’t put inside her bag. I picked it up, curious, and felt my heart lurch as she expressed her feelings toward a boy,…

March 11th Monday Musings
Another Monday morning. The sky is shot with pink and purple as I drop the kids off. Another weekend down, although this one at a more sedate pace. Fuelled by exhaustion and the youngest child vomiting, none of us felt much up for anything. But now as I drive to work, I realize I’m more…
