Me in Three

What I value most in my life is the bliss of being born
into a happy family with caring mom and dad.
It set the foundation for me to grow wholesome,
with basic values and a high moral code.
I am a happy wife and mother, the queen of my home,
a teacher from hilt to heel and I proudly wear that title.
Endowed with commitment, I try to do things as best as I can,
and I believe, staying in and out beautiful is vital. 


As I can’t hide my sensitivity, people take me for a weakling
Sometimes, I can’t put enough, as fear of losing
takes a defeatist hold over me to the point of dejection,
and between action and inaction, I keep oscillating.
It gets in my way of success that never can I be a champion.
As a poet, sometimes I feel my pen runs out of ink.
It frustrates me that often I contemplate on quitting the scene.
Though not diffident, at times, into self- doubt I sink.


With all blemishes, I feel, I am yet to see the best in life.
Though I trip and fall, hope to stand up the next moment.
I keep bettering myself that I am a work in progress.
Before my life ends, I am hopeful of atonement.
As my days are waning, what I pray is to have a peaceful end,
with a feeling of contentment that I have left the world
as a blessing, brightening myself and many lives around,
leaving sweet memories behind that my dear ones love to hold.

VALSA MY DEAR DEAR FEIEND, HOW can I evEr explain the depth of your wonderful precense when I READ AnY OF YOUR POEMs. WE HAVE HAD our BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND i started it so i feel guilty when I DON'T DO MY POETRY AND GUILTY WHEN I DON'T SEE TO OUR BUSINESS.. never ever doubt yourself for I marvel at your talented poetic ability. We all get our down moments. I HAVE NOT BEEN FEELING HAPPY WITH MYSELF LATELY BECAUSE I HAD NO OPTION but to neglect my so loved poetry because our business beckoned me urgently,. BE well and i'm so sorry i don't answer you more often, but life is not fair sometimes, i love you my friend - hugs Jennifer.

Dear Jenni, I am thrilled to read your assessment of my poems. Dear one, I don't deserve so much, but one thing I can assure you, I don't have any pretenses and I try to keep my mind free of resentment towards anyone. From the beginning, I used to like your personality and your candid and humorous poems. Life is full of ups and downs and there are unseen pressures coming into life. Business is an an area that demands constant attention. So focus on it.Poetry is something that you can do at leisure, any time even if our age advances. So don't worry. Give priority to your business. As long as your husband is with you, why worry? God will set everything right. So cheer up dear.

You are a very fine poet, in my opinion. Understanding that Great is only God. All we do and give is on loan...our perfection in anything, is the worship. Absolute love is the goal...and poetry simply another vehicle. The way I look at it any way. My own writing good, only once in awhile, when God manages to get a word in despite my obstinate ego. Blessings my friend. Write away!! You could not stop writing even if you truly wanted. I have tried for a week or two...and then the ink filled syringe is in my hand...trembling out more text despite my protest.

"Me in Three" is a wonderful write/story. I always enjoy reading your work. Great memories are the best kind to have. "Good Luck" I did, "Me In Three Was A Dream." Have a fun day writing away...............

Sensitivity is a great trait, but yes people often take advantage. Yet, who do they come to for compassion? God bless you, Valsa!
