Pocket Full of PosiesAshes, Ashes, we all fallShort.Every single night, every single night, I feel sorrow for words spoken too harshly,for a child's sadness that was not tenderly validated,for the omission of love that should've been given more freely.Some days I do betterand some days I fall short again,and again.But the next day,
I get up to dance again.
I loved that.
ReplyDeleteI love YOU!

ReplyDeleteJust last night, Troubletron said, "No one plays ring around the roses any more."
ReplyDeleteI know that was not the point of your post, but I thought it an odd coincidence.
Keep dancing. Each new day has a different tune to try a new move.
ReplyDeleteDance on, dancing girl. You just can't lose.
ReplyDeleteAmen. Fifty four and still dancing.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Claudette, keep on dancing!
ReplyDeleteWe love dancing over here!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
ReplyDeleteGOTTA DANCE!
ReplyDeleteWell put Katy. I feel the same way all too often. I haven't seen your parents yet, but I can't tell you how much of a comfort it is in knowing that they are here. Hopefully we will be able to meet up this week sometime. I love you tons and only wish I had been here when you were.
ReplyDeleteParenting is trying at the best of times. We do the best we can and I'm sure our children love us regardless, we are only human.

Beautifully written. I feel the same way. *sigh*
