Do You Listen, Do You Hear?

When I speak, do you listen?

Do you see my face glisten?

Heart and soul,

the words just take control.

Do you hear what I say?

You may listen, but just look away.

Please don't ignore me, I am all alone.

I just want people to hear me and not be outshone.

Why do I bother, why do I care?

It's simple really; I just want to share.

Leave something of myself when I am gone

For those that need to just hold on.

So I will still speak, through paper and pen.

Think clearly and thoughtfully time and again.

You may not listen, but some will read.

Finally you will hear, because you feel the need.

Wishing you moments to really listen.

Sunday Scribble - Happy Mother's Day 2013

Mother's Day comes once a year,

but one day is not enough.

Mindful to keep her very near,

and never, ever treat her like fluff.

Always there and never far,

holding hands and wiping  tears.

Watched us learn to drive that car,

biggest cheerleader through the years.

Breakfast in bed and macaroni jewel box

she loved every gift no matter made or bought.

Now she'd be happy with a card and some socks,

as long as we remember her like we aught.

Not an obligation to spend time with our Mothers,

she's loved us without fail and beyond all measure.

It's better than being alone if we had our druthers,

and love her so much 'cause she's our greatest treasure.

Happy Mother's Day to all moms near and far!
