I Remember You Honey
I need a kiss or at least a hug
someone to hold me tight
and say its all going to be alright.
or even a quick
I love you honey.
the kids are sick again
the dogs got fleas
my husband is moaning
his dinner is cold.
I mess up the tv remote
he laughs condescendingly
and fixex it in a heartbeat
I want to dump the lot of them
and run away to live in the islands
The next day I get splashed
by a rude driver
mud all over my new coat.
is this all there is?
But just as I reach
the point of despair.
I pass a dress shop window
full of size zero manequins
with skinny superior looks.
All dressed in designer dresses.
And I see my reflection.
My hair wild and free
flowing in the breeze.
My glasses wet with rain.
I have no makeup on just lipstick.
I see the reflection of a real woman.
But I look fantastic
the great woman
my mom brought up.
the woman I want to be.
She is wonderful
awesome.
I smile and wave at her.
and shout silently.
I remember you honey.
