We were lovers
We were friends
We laughed and
Also, we cried
When I mourned
Your arms comforted
Your gentle hands drying
The tears of my eyes
And then we said goodbye
With a final kiss I walked away
And when I see you now
We are nothing more than
Strangers passing by
I navigated the maze
Of my emotions
To be led
By love
To you
A belated birthday gift! 😍
The older I get, the more I realize how we ladies need strong, supportive women in our lives. I loved my mother-in-law, and after I moved to Sydney, I was ‘adopted’ by my church mother, a wonderful older supportive woman who has since moved away. I miss them both, but very glad for the supportive nurturing love they gave to me.
I am thankful for the strong, kind women I have befriended here on WordPress, and also in my daily life I am focusing on my female friendships. We can bring so much to each other’s lives, all for the better, and we need each other.
Wishing you all a wonderful Mother’s Day! Xx
Words are fading
With every pill I take
Calmness overtakes
The constant dull angst
And carries my poetry
Away
Look who said good morning this morning. Mr Kookaburra in our back yard!
Being needed is a helpful therapy. It brings purpose to our lives, and a reason for living. There are a few people that need me in their lives. My daughter and I were chatting and I mentioned to her, if anything happens to you or your brother, I will not be able to live, I cannot live without either of you. And she replied, very wisely, yes you can, because your dad loves you and needs you. I said to her, your father would look after my dad. She replied by saying, no, your dad doesn’t need my father, he needs You. 💝
Six weeks on happy pills, and this is what I can say. I am laughing more. Like actually laughing. Today I said something to a colleague, and I used the wrong word, and it was really funny. I laughed! And I’m smiling more. It seems easier to smile. It seems easier to be upbeat. To have a cheerful disposition.
I have contacted a life coach, and meeting her on Monday. Small, positive steps to lead the life I want to lead. A life of fulfillment and happiness and joy and positivity. All things good!
