Walking Wounded

Within without

Tick-Tap
tick-tap
Toys...
dropped on the floor.

clickity-clack
clickity-clack
The tappet dogs
across the laminate

I lay my head upon a kitchen table
Touching the pain
wondering...
How I am able?

A child's boo boo
to be consoled
Pain within me
to be placed on hold.

My child
approaches
"I love you Momma"...
"Your the best"...

The pain
I feel
inside
to be untold.

Warmly, sincerely
I smile
within
and without.

Hi Donetta

Thanks for visiting over at my place. I also like Boundaries over in your sidebar ---->>

I wonder if you and Alison could do some work together. Go to http://letstalkorganizing.blogspot.com and look for More than a Mom in her blogroll.
