I can’t believe it’s you I’m really looking at
staring back at me.
I keep looking with a quizzical expression
thinking the picture will change…
Who am I? Continue reading “A Poem About Midlife Strife-“Mirror Mirror””
A Poem About Escape-“There’s No Place Called Home”
I don’t wake up, I wake down
Waiting for a wind to lift me,
And drift me
Far above the ground.
I want to miss all I see
The hustle and bustle,

Where I feel nothing but love
A place, safe and serene
Where the yellow brick road Continue reading “A Poem About Escape-“There’s No Place Called Home””

Feeling secure within the nest.
By the time I reached the table top Continue reading “A Poem “Mother”- A Cinderella Story”
A Poem Adoring My Baby-“Cheerios”
I never thought I would enjoy
The loud, obnoxious sound of toys,
Of crying in the midst of night
And watching darkness turn to light,
Of changing diapers and wiping spills
Of doctors visits and doctor’s bills.
I never thought I’d walk this path Continue reading “A Poem Adoring My Baby-“Cheerios””
