The days grow short, nights are shorter

I’m a wife, a mother, and a daughter

Pulled in all directions, until I’m numb

It’s no wonder why, I’m feeling glum

I need some space, to call my own

A quiet spot, where I’m unknown

No one to call my name, out loud

Far away, from the roaring crowd

Yet, I do not know, of such a place

To live my life, at my own pace

One day I hope to find that peace

When overwhelming moments cease

Hello, Friends,

As most of you know, I have been caring for my mom the past two weeks.  I get the chance to write when my daughter kicks me up to my office 🙂  Lately, the words aren’t there, as exhaustion has all but taken over the day to day.  I am trying to read as many of you as I can, but I’m finding that a bit overwhelming as well.  I so miss all of you and your beautiful words.  It will be weeks until I am able to come back on a regular basis, but I know you’ll all still be here.

Thank you to everyone who commented and personally messaged me about Mom.  Your support through all things simply amazes me and I love you all for it.  And thank you for continuing to read my somewhat sporadic poems.  This really is a great family ❤

Until then,

❤ Dorinda
