| Glimmering Hats With Wings I place this hat upon my head and now I find I need another... ...yes, I am a mother... Please don't touch that door, there's so many hats in there I fear it would take the air should they all spill out Dashing about looking for another unsure of the color I need so if I toss one, and grab another or do it 25 times in a breath just stand clear there's nothing to fear I know at times I am intense and as you watch me from your fence I am sure you wonder just what drives me or ponder that I may have lost my mind, you may think you know, but really I am not even sure... there's this thing, it lives inside.... it says you really can't devide nor set aside this task... It must be done, and yesterday was a good day to start. Some hats have holes, some are wron from whear... some I need for five minutes, some I have worn for years... ....still others forever more.... Whatever works, so if that hat is down in the dirt, then thats just where I'll go, it's not a matter of control, it's the desire for flexibility, to learn, to grow. If the hat I needed were floating down the middle of the river, I would find a way... So if I am struck with intensity, maybe if you watch what I do will come to you... .....I am a mother..... The most incredible journey ever, my son has taken me on... I watch him grow, and I think.... now its almost time, for him to fly... Questions plague my mind.... Was the nest to soft? To harsh? Was I there when he needed me... Did I step aside enough, to let him grow... Have I done my best to give him real things, of love and trust? What will this young man of mine carry forth into the world... I dive into a new row of hats..... the start of your life.... its just around the corner, the hats here are so different... Ill need to find the right hat to say goodbye.... The one that makes me brave, the one that says, I know you'll be ok. and then the list pours on, hats for courage both yours and mine... |
| If asked if I am married.... my reply "I am a mother". If theres one title in my dreams I ever wanted to have.... it would have been wife and mother... one of those I was able to hold... I have held that title with pride, for 16 years... So....as I round the bend, hit this new isle... I contemplate these new hats... I have had to be strong before, that's nothing new... I hope when you leave you make it short though.... I don't want you to see me cry... How do we watch 20 years just walk away? It's then that I see the glimmering hats with wings... and I recall how I myself flew away... and a calm comes over me as I approach those hats... and I smile.... yes....these are the ones I need.... glimmering hats with wings... gently and softly, with emotion and thuoght racing through me I have a hat in my hands I am comtemplating each and every curve as the tears roll down my face I recall how you have shown me such a gently space... a place in your heart... child of grace. Grown to a young man of caring heart, a man of deep thought, a young man with dreams, now looking forward to your life... I'ts then that I see the glimmering hats with wings.... and I recal how I myself flew away.... and a calm comes over me as I approach those hats... .....yes these are the ones I need..... glimmering hats with wings ~ |
