July 31st

The last day of July is here. I would say finally, but the truth is, I feel like it was May a minute ago. It also feels like this happens more and more often now that I have children, and I’m not sure why. Could it be the fact sleep deprivation makes you forgetful? That…

The Secret of life

Another weekend flown, back at home with the kids tucked into bed I think about my life. I wonder how did I ever deserve all the blessings that I have? Life may not be perfect, but it’s so amazing. My kids are hilarious, wonderful and happy. I’m mostly healthy, and I have good people around…

The Pest

Sometimes it’s frustrating to have a sibling And by sometimes, I mean almost always The pick, they push, they nag, they whine Getting closer to the last nerve, all of the time They always want the same things, never share Never give the first turn, never want to do my game I don’t even know…

Civilization

Sometimes I wonder where society has gone wrong Are we at the beginning of another great decline? Civilization crashing, imploding, while people remain focused on themselves, Shallow, Uncaring, unknowing. Watching the suffering of others from arms length, As entertainment Social media makes spectators of us all, watching the gladiators bleed and die On the cross…

The occult

It’s silent, hidden away, Never discussed, never acknowledged. Shameful, damaging, isolating When love is dangerous, where do you hide? When you can’t trust your own memories, Who do you tell? Soft bruises hide the damage within, Loss of innocence, The destruction of trust Unable to accept any hand that is offered Because you don’t know…

Homeward bound

Now, the end is here, And so I face the final… Highway. Today, my mind has been full of songs, most with a home theme. As I sit here trying to put my thoughts into words, homeward bound is playing in the soundtrack of my head Home, where my musics playing Home, where my love lies…

The Great Vacation- Part 5

The last full day of vacation, with tomorrow just the drive home. We slept deeply last night, full of birthday cake and sunshine. I was the first awake, Until I woke my little man with a kiss on his cute button nose We enjoyed fleeting family time over breakfast and coffee, saying goodbye to the past…

The Great Vacation- part 4

The sun rose and alerted me that, no matter where I was or what the schedule for the day was, it was 5 o’clock in my brain and time to wake up. I lay there instead of getting up, watching my little boy sleep, curls sleep tousled and cheeks flushed. He would move, and snuggle…

The Great Vacation- Part 3

The Ol’homestead Our first full day back at the place where I grew up. My little dude had spent the night scratching in his sleep while I gently and repeatedly moved him back from the edge of the bed. He’s a vigorous sleeper, and often came dangerously close to falling off. He woke first, as…
