Long weekend recap
August long weekend has come and gone and I’m not entirely sure where it went. I spent so much of it driving that if I close my eyes, I still feel like I’m moving. I watched my children play again, a sight that never gets old. I held onto them on a boat, listened to…

Summer day at the lake
Lazy summer day Road flying by Sun shine My little boy along for the ride Bright eyes Bushy tail Laughter that Lights a heart Children laughing While sun glints off the water Snapshots of my childhood And theirs

Time and relatives
Finally Friday, Or is it Friday again? Another week has gone My question is when? Time keeps moving faster When I want it to go slow But other times it’s like molasses When I want it to go Another day of work, Of family and friends Walk through the door And somehow, time suspends I…

Prayer for a tired spirit
This week has felt long Weighed heavy on the heart So many lives lost Always tears me apart But work marches on Another problem to heal But what does one do When you’re at your limit to feel? All I can do And all that I know Is to hug my loved one’s closer And…

Rain dance
Halfway through another week, But my brain won’t stop racing. Full of my list and my have to’s While I dream of everything I’d rather be doing. They say life is what happens while you’re making other plans But I’ve been trying harder to live each day to the fullest To hold my children tight…

Moments on Tuesday’s
Tuesday’s with my family Spaghetti and chicken Snuggles in the evening The rain hits the window But we are safe inside, Toasty and cuddled Tucked in together Side by side by side I look into their soft, Youthful faces And my heart swells Two sizes two big I sigh, Then pull the blankets closer

Monday meditation
Another Monday List in hand Wondering how It got so grand If I had another 23 hours In each and every day I could do all of the things And would never have to say I’m sorry I can’t I’d love to but no There’s too many things Without enough time to show The world…
