Bermudaful Day

Today was a beautiful spring day
We went outside to play
We had a great time                    
No one was online
The fresh air was so divine
Running in the sun
and having big fun                            
Taking in the beautiful sights
Bermuda really is paradise

Tears run down my face today
as I think about my baby
The first time she looked up at me
I saw my eyes looking back at me
That toothless smile and chubby face
That warm little bundle all in my space
As if my heart was placed right next to me
Never knew how much she would mean to me
Until they placed her on my chest
This sweet little angel with whom I've been blessed
She is growing so quickly
The years are passing briskly
But she will always be my baby  
Even though she is becoming a young lady.

Somedays...

Somedays
I see her face
Feel her presence
Somedays
It feels as if she is just away
Only for one more day
Somedays
I hear her voice
It makes me weep
I miss listening to her heartbeat
Somedays
I miss the touch of her hands
Those healing hands
Hands that made our house a home
Somedays
I realize she is gone for good
My heart still breaks from our separation
Somedays
She visits me and reminds me
I am never alone
Everyday
I am thankful I was blessed to be her child
I miss you Mommy

Breakfast

Ahh... the aroma of roasted beans
The smokiness of swine
Sizzling sounds of cheesy eggs
Yum
It's breakfast time

Comfort

I reach for you
But you're not there
Traveling all the time
Sometimes it's hard
Sometimes it's easy
You're always on my mind
We have been blessed
With a beautiful child
I love to watch her sleep
and when she opens her big brown eyes
I see YOU looking back at me...

Prescription to paradise

Navigating through winding roads
Windows down
Spring breeze greets me
Makes breathing easy
My chest has been heavy
Fresh air is like medicine
On the road to recovery
It's a beautiful journey
Living in paradise is a blessing

Me

Don't be fooled by smiling eyes
You have no idea the pain they hide
A culture of being strong is celebrated
Vulnerability is not tolerated
Perceived as weak, shy and meek
Finding the words inside to speak
and voice my truth
Takes courage and pride
But there is so much conflict going on inside
Why can't I just BE
Happy with ME
and ALL that entails
Show up as I am
A sister and friend
and trust that's okay
So here I am
One more day
Doing my best to make being ME okay
