Mother
My mother took me into her loving home
Gave me an amazing family to call my own
She held my hand through scary times
Showed me love and sang me rhymes
Tucked me tight through the night
She said don't let the bed bugs bite
Years flew by and now I'm grown
I also created a family of my own
Learned values from her that stayed with me
Now teach my own to follow thee
My Mom is great and hope they see
Just how special you are to me
If you need me I am here
As you were for all those years
I'll hold you're hand and hold you close
Then listen to you when you need the most
Remember my love runs deep for you
Let me show my caring gratitude

Goodnight my friends
Time for rest
The sleep man knows
What is best
I fight the urge
To stay up more
But eyelids drooping
Can't fight no more
So sleep well as I will do
Very honored to have all of you:)

If I ask how you're doing,
I'd rather hear the uncomfortable truth
than "I'm doing well" scoffed as you storm past.

Clearly that isn't the ******* truth,
and I don't appreciate the lie.

Moreover,
I cared enough to ask
so don't sell us both short
with your knee-**** reply.

"Keeping up appearances"
one might say;
"disrespecting those who care"
I would hear.

Quite poetic is a dragonfly

Dancing and romancing the sun

It realizes it will soon die

So it doesn't care about the damage done

It just kisses the sky

Knowing its life will soon pass by

It hovers over lakes and sometimes rivers too

Even around people who tell it "Shoo!"

So when it finds itself beneath a boot

Or in front of a wind screen it goes mute

It doesn't care about the impact
because it romanced the sun
Kissed the sky
And glided over water

What more could a dragon fly want?
