If You Only Knew

hexastich with rhyme I drink my coffee standing on alert knowing that my tasks move this chunk of dirt on its axis... my world, my family. Of necessity, I grab at moments attacking life (with God) at faith's expense wringing out each ounce of kids' energy. I am a mother raising young children, as a chef, cop, coach, and comedienne. Past these headwinds, I see in the distance - doting old grandma, coffee in her hands Bible in her lap, waiting in the stands sharing what she knows of God’s existence.
