Offering...



A tiny flower, a gentle heart.
His muddy hand carefully cradles
the delicate lace of purple petals.
My youngest son's eyes eagerly await
the smile that curls my lips.
I  whisper "thank you" to the Universe:
for him and his joyous offering.

Sense



Trying to make sense of how

time has slipped through my fingers.

My boys stand at different thresholds,

ready to begin writing new chapters.

I witness; my proud heart photographs.

Surrender


At the end of the day,

after homework, dinner and baths;

the battle begins; a hopeless dance.

Be productive in relative peace, quiet?

Drop everything , grab the neglected book ?

Run to undo the days dietary mistakes?

Or succumb to the inviting softness

of the freshly made, warm bed...

In hopes of a productive tomorrow

when I can read or run;

not surrender too quickly or soundly

as the white sheets beckon me tonight.

Waving the white flag?  Visit Melissa and find out more about Six Words Fridays!
