I hate the way you laughed at me
And told me I was wrong
I hate your smug and glib response
That you were right all along
I hate the condescending way
That you pretend to care
And the self righteous way
That you override my fears.
I hate the lessons that you taught
That mixed up my mind
And the way your lessons
Were anything but unkind.
I hate the way you lift me up
And teach me how to fly
The buoyancy that you create
When I am sky high.
I hate your stupid advice
When I'm falling apart
And the really crappy way
That you clean up my heart
I hate the way you catch me
Every time I fall
I hate that I don't hate you
I don't hate you at all.

Just what I needed

I never thought I'd know you
I never thought I'd understand
Exactly just what love was
When you took hold of my hand
I never thought I'd love you
More than my own life
God knew just what I needed
And now I know why.
I was swimming in my reason
In love with what I knew
Never aware of something missing
Something beautiful and true
The joy to be your mother
Has made my heart grow twice its size
I finally understand what love is
When I look into your eyes.
Of all that I have learned in life
And all that i have seen
Knowing you is the greatest
It is my everything.

Time

Trees tell the time
Lush or bare
Their face is a watch
Displaying the season.
Years swallow dreams like a vortex
A toilet bowl of intention!
Years are greedy
Screaming WINTER SPRING SUMMER FALL!
to our lives
The winds of change pushing. Pulling. Pushing us forward towards our ambition
Time is hungry
He seldom crawls towards his prey
Years swallow dreams
You have to weave the tapestry of intention
Into its belly
A flow chart of resistance
January fades to February
Which fades to December
Time is hungry
Ambition its prey
Unassumingly grazing on time
Ironically.
We flood our eyes with Netflix
Grocery store trips
Idle moments of being
We work. Work. Work.
" tomorrow" is our favorite word
We can tell time WAIT
he waits for no one
Jump on this merry go round
Of a restless predator
Shoved the word quality in his face
The only remedy for his hunger
The only way he won't eat you alive.
