The lines around my eyes...
Are from the joy you give me every day of my life....
My frown lines are the times
I've worried about you...
The lines on my forehead...
Are the many times
You've surprised me
with your kind little gestures
Every line on my face ...
Tells a story...
Of caring, loving, laughing , crying, living....
A life I'm so proud of
A life with you my sweet child
A life so full because you are in it
Lasted just 10 minutes
Your sweetness
My shyness
Your kindness
My generosity
Your love
My Joy.....
Innocence of a child
Pure...untouched...free..
Like ****** raindrops
Falling from the sky...
As we watch snowflakes fall softly outside...
It's suddenly all quiet...
The fire crackles...
Hugs us tight...
in warm embrace
A gentle snore joins the crackling fire
Making music strange and beautiful...
With bellies full with turkey and wine
A Christmas simply spent
With just a few near and dear
Christmas in 2021
Sun shines between the cracks
Of ominous grey clouds
Casting yellow rays of light
Upon the old grey house
Making it shine like gold!!
Snow flakes soft, airy, gentle....
Falls upon a pine tree ...
hard, brittle, green ...
Clinging to its needles...
In deep embrace....
Like lovers...
Opposites attract...
I am a victim of my imagination
The ceiling light that hangs above me
Might drop upon my head
The kettle boiling on the stove top
Might start a house fire
My creaky old wood floor
Might cave in under my feet
Anxiousness creeps upon me stealthily like a thief
Robbing me off my sleep
Preying upon my thoughts
I go thru life
Walking on eggshells
On the outside I'm just like you
On the outside I just pretend to
"be Brave"
So many of us suffer from anxiety, it's invisible we don't wear it on us like a scar and yet it affects us all deeply inside.
