(2015)
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
