Mother Mary

thank you for another day

Sweet Mother
what was she thinking
it did not resonate
till we got home
on our way down Sareve
turns and asks me
are you okay mom
said yeah why
well it's unlike
you
to
just pick up and do something
like this
are you planning to do something
to yourself
like what i thought
it hits me
she was asking if i was
going to take myself out
i assured her i would never do that
ever
it is something i needed to do
for myself
know one else was fixing on doing
it for me

The baby comes in my room this morning
says
mimma
i loved the beach
it was awesome
she so wanted to go on the adult rides
but oh Mother what a ride
down the shore
to smell the ocean
sea gulls picking up shells
rocks one nicer than the next
i ask her what was the best
she says the water
it was worth i must do more often

Corissa says
i had a great time
but it's so not you to do things
just like that
told her maybe
i should do it
much more often

thank you for yesterday
and will make more of them
Amen
