A Mother, a Soliloquy
The best compliment I have ever received is, “You’re going to be a wonderful mother one day.” I adore the idea of having children, treating them with love and kindness, nurturing and caring for them even when it’s hard. I daydream of dancing, playing, laughing, crying, and everything in between. In the very midst of...

Galaxy of Stars
In the hush of night’s embrace, so wide, Where silence floats and dreams reside, There lies a sea, not made of seas— But stars that whisper through the breeze. A galaxy, both near and far, Each flicker shines—a silent scar Of wishes cast and hopes once made, That glimmer bright but never fade. Each star, a story, fierce and true, Of ancient light that...

Premium Member Kids and Cats
Kids and cats have much in common. Cats don't talk, but kids' questions startle us so! When is tomorrow? Where does the sun go at night? Why does the sky cry? How long is a minute? Curiosity killed the cat. I’m glad kids aren’t like that!...

To my kids, don't be a God who
What a bunch of hypocrites down here, Acting as if He's not there. He sends trouble to get our attention, And their first reaction is prayer. When the trouble goes away, Any thoughts about him does too. Someone grateful says "Thank God" While the ungrateful say "God who???" Let the same God-denier's child get sick, Or lose someone they loved. They have the nerve to...

Dirt Driveways
Dirt Driveways Who knew that dirt driveways lead to happy homes? That Prince Charming’s white horse is really a black BMW. That our kingdom would consist of his, mine, and ours. Who knew that fairytale castles came in split-level houses with cathedral ceilings? That the beauty in the house comes from the twists and turns in the architecture. That...

A SILLY DAY!
Did the ocean try to dry its splashy face? Did mountains brush off dusty, grassy trace? Did the ground hide softly from the rainy days? Did the wind play statue at morning's crystal maze? Did planets wear funny costumes, just in case? Let your own glory glitter, like fireflies' wobbly space!...
