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.
