About This Poem
Lost in Lukewarm Lumpy Potatoes
I don’t know when things started to change
When like lukewarm potatoes our feelings became
When did life become so boring and mundane?
The years of pregnancy and childbirth were so exciting
Because I had a mission...and it was so inviting
My happiness then, I didn’t have to feign
And I gave my life to this role, as the years were passing
Barefoot and pregnant again, I remember us laughing
But somewhere in the middle of pregnant and lactating
And the myriad of hats I wore as mother times six
Somewhere along the journey and in the midst of this mix
I lost a part of me, too busy with play-acting
The degree I obtained, the beginnings of career,
I gladly gave them up… I had children to rear
Giving heart and soul to my family was all that I held dear
My children were, and still are, my whole life,
And so was being a devoted wife
Until my reflection faded in the rear-view mirror
I don’t know what is going to happen in the next scene
Life has settled down to something dull and routine
And time is so short, well it’s too short to dream
Roles are changing but they’re basically the same
I’m still searching but, really, I have nothing to gain
If I found myself now, would it mean anything?
