As you’ve read from yesterday’s post, the flu or cold bug is making its rounds in my casa for the second time around.  That means… One. TIRED. Mommy.

But I’m refusing to let this thing beat me.  I must be strong for my kids’ sake.

(Yes, please do pass the coffee.  “It comes in pints?”)

Besides quoting LOTR here and there for my own entertainment, I’ve been pretty inspired lately, actually.  If you follow my poetry blog, you’ll have noticed that I’ve been posting practically everyday for a week!

But here, it’s been few and far between.  I wanted to start the New Year right on this blog….but I don’t know what happened.

I would log on…and then just STARE at my screen and that blinking line…waiting for the desire to write something, anything.  Didn’t happen.  Again. And again.

So I’m gonna take it slow and just let it come to me.  I think forcing myself to write is actually counterproductive.

Today though, I’m inspired to write some more poetry.  Because I’m so determined to help my kid feel better, my determination is overflowing and spilling onto my blog!

Without further ado…

STRENGTH

Waves come to shake you down
And the hot sun burns all your smiles
Nights grow hot and cold
And you can’t put on your happy crown

You long for days of dancing
And running with the rays of light
The outdoors call your name
And you are left wanting, wishing

Don’t give up the fight, my dear
And raise your heart to the clouds
The strength of your mother cradles you
And her love will conquer your fear.
