I wish I had known you sooner Because the me right here, right now, needs you But I am happy for you, for my future me I bet you smile more And the stresses have become nothing more than forgetting to swap the laundry, or spilling a bit of coffee from your morning mug IContinue reading “Until then,”

Another turn

Another year gone by I swear, I only blinked twice! But here I am, seeing my baby boy turn 5… His hands still small but, my how he’s grown With tears in my eyes and smile on my face, I’m not sure how else to explain. My baby boy was just born…. 5 years ago.Continue reading “Another turn”

Heart on my sleeve

I once held my heart on my sleeve That way others could see how much love I could give, and someone would be willing to take it. I now hold my heart deep in the unseen… It got hurt too many times, and now I feel sorry that I allowed it to get used byContinue reading “Heart on my sleeve”

I have Deja vu often Seeing moments in the present that I have already “seen”. It isn’t just coincidence either These “relived” moments are exact replicas of time Down to the slightest movement or sound.
