MY MOTHER-ok
(WRITTEN IN ’98)
OVER THE YEARS
WE HAVE SHARED ALOT
GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES
SOMETIMES EVEN FOUGHT.
NOW YOU ARE OLD
GETTING FRAIL
IT’S UP TO ME
TO BE VERY BOLD.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TODAY?
A HUG AND A KISS
SOME VITAMINS
AND A DRINK
YOU SHOULDN’T MISS.
MOTHER I LOVE YOU
TO ME YOU ARE DEAR
AND I WILL MISS YOU
WHEN YOU ARE
NO LONGER HERE.
YOU ARE IN GOD’S HANDS
SO AM I!
WE TRAVEL TOGETHER
HAND IN HAND
TO THE MUSIC
OF OUR OWN BAND.
( I came across this when I was reading through an old journal. I read about the same issues I have now -money weight and hubby!!! Do I have to accept that I will always have these?)

I have issues like this too, and for some reason I NEVER “accept” them — I fight them because that is me.. and I somehow feel that if I don’t fight them, I might as well be dead.

It’s funny that you mention that, still unpacking for my new place, today I came across my diaries from highschool and maybe my issues have become less exaggerated but they’re still relevant for today. Freedom, independance, weight problems, depression. I can be happy now & at least say that life is better! Take care, that poem about your mother was very sweet. :O)

yes some issues never change.
