Poem
As the world turns my stomach does too knowing that all my children are confused, unemployed and young and restless all the day through, and my husband of 30 years decided to leave me for someone younger, says hes going through a mid-life crisis, what a bummer…. found out my best friend Pam was in a traffic jam where she got hit by a car, went to visit her in the hospital, but didn't make it very far, got a speeding ticket for doing 60 when I should have been doing 35, finally made it to the hospital where my friend was still breathing but barely alive, meantime her family called a pastor in to pray just in case she didn't survive, so I said a silent prayer and with tears streaming down took her hand and bid her farewell, and during the drive home, thought about Pam and how she was so kind, and then for some reason flashbacks from the previous week kept popping into my mind, then when arriving home only to find, my neighbor meeting me looking upset and angry outside, telling me he was going to sue me, because when I was away our big oak tree did sway and fell upon his car in his driveway… as if that wasn't enough I went to the mailbox, where I found a strange letter that was made out to me, so I opened it up and sure enough discovered it was from my long lost daughter, saying she was now 31 had her own illegitimate son and that she wanted to meet me, went in the house and before I knew it the doorbell rang and she stood there all ready to greet me, I just gave her a hug and explained why I had to give her up when she was just a baby, she just gave an understanding look and asked "who is my daddy?" I said I'm not really sure dear it could've been Tom, Dick or Larry, said those were the years I was confused beyond tears of which fella I loved the most, she said Mom there must be a way just call them all and say I want a paternity test done… so as I watched my long lost daughter leave and drive over my pet cats tail, I just think to myself "oh its just another normal day, where I hear dramatic music play, in a place called Kanoga Falls."
