Poem: ‘A Poetic Mother’s Day’

Another day I live to see, ‘breathe, and exhale!’
I command this of me:
As I lay on my sofa with poetic text
Flowing effortlessly, from love ones,
Acquaintances, wishing all a great Mother’s Day
I thought to myself, I do not feel precious,

As I should be, life energy has depleted me:

Still, I can dream, soon the day will be over,

By the second, minute and hour

And I will be here to myself
Even when I feel life has cheated me:
I have learned there’s so much discipline

And game in order to succeed
On this Mother’s Day 14, 2023, I paused and reflect
The journey, the experiences, at times that puzzled me:
Trying to wake up from the illusion that I did not

Foresee: Trying to shake off the feelings of fatigue
And reminding myself of the song,

“God has surely favored me,”
To love and be loved even if it seems so unreal.
