My Children – A Poem

My children – My sweet children -They are terrors without doubt
The crazy ones that live with me – My hair? – I pull it out
It’s hard – It’s easy – I don’t know – They drive me crazy
All I want is sleep – yet I am sure I’m not too lazy

Oh exhaustion – I’m so tired – I’m so grouchy – I ‘m a mess
Something needs to change right now – there’s way, way too much stress
So I shall shift the energy – Creating what I focus on
I can get this right – I will – My mad, sad thoughts will all be gone

Balance – Beginners Mind – Patience – Good Thought Thinking
They’re only little once – They are a joy – I am not sinking
Wait – Cancel – Correct – I’m buoyant with so much love
That always surrounds me – From below and from above

Be gentle with myself – Who I am right now’s enough
Life is really good to me – It’s really not so tough
And if society pulls me down – I notice it – without a frown
As perfect parents don’t exist

I go outside – I make a list
Of all the good that’s in my life
And I let go of all the strife
Because – after all, Life is way too short – so why not have a ball.
