Around and around we go.

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

"

Life is chance and opportunity. Better to be kind and hope for a good ending.

"

 

                      Around and around we go.Around and around we go. Never knowing where we will end up.

Faces, places and situations dancing in our head.

Can’t change the past. We can assemble the present.

The future is our option. Chose wisely your words and actions.

We pay for our sins and good deeds till our last breath.

Like a Mother

~ thereluctantpoet

For those who have been blessed to have more than one Mom!

The Abundant Heart

sisters-and-steps

She wasn’t there
To give me birth
Or chronicle
My every “first”
When I was young

But she was there
To wipe my tears
And cheer me on
Throughout the years
She was my mom

♥          ♥          ♥

Linda Luna’s challenge to write a Double Five, a portrait of a loved one, is the perfect way to wish a Happy Birthday to my stepmom, Marguerite Umphers.  Thank you for being a mother to me. You have been a great influence, and I love you very much. ♥
