The Way It Is
Conception

Was that day so fateful?
yes - the day we met.
Life changed inevitably,
hindsight would have helped!

Such a short time together -
who'd have guessed.
Left harbouring new life,
my shape ever changing.

Time passed quickly,
another fateful day arrives,
that been dreaded for so long.
Control again being fought over.

Mum and Dad

I dream of normality,
the kitchen table of life.
We never did all sit,
in a circle talking.

Too many lies said,
all those truths unspoken.
I listen for the words -
"sorry - we were wrong"
My Girl

Your eyes dance and shine,
with chatter and moving feet!
I've watched you grow quickly,
it has been all too fast.
As we move toward the future,
I know, daughter, I love you more.
Unfaltering, unchanging, irreplacable.
The daily battles easily forgotten
when your gappy smile spreads
infectious joy to all!
Catfish Nights

Harmonic sounds echo
daily in my conscious mind.
That is, when you are in there.
No strings break - no angst filled blues;
only content, happy sounds.
The best - I do not hesitate -
the catfish nights!
What music!  Softness
laced with the raw.
I wish for them to roll
whilst never ending.
