frenchie

She’s old, she’s frail so what can I expect -

She thinks only of herself, yet I still show respect.

When things are not going well, she complains like crazy,

She wants us to stop everything, even if we’re busy.

Well, what can I do - she’s eighty-eight years old,

Not improving her character as she ages, strong-minded and bold.

I wish I will be this healthy at her age

But, with a better disposition - please G-d - I do pray.

She doesn’t want any strangers to come in and help her,

She will have to pay them money, that is for sure.

And so she tries to get help from her children, as she’s on her own

She manages quite nicely, but she’s still all alone.

I guess it’s important that I understand,

I don’t have patience for her daily whining sounds.

She’s always finding ways for us to be around

She’s lonely, she aged, she’s  selfish,  she often feels down.

Must I understand? I find it quite hard

Talking to her is no fun as I usually get bored.

It’s only of herself that she speaks, no interest has she,

I must understand how she feels and how unhappy she must be.

     But I will always love you,  forever……

It’s late at night and I am up

I realize that it’s dark

Everyone’s asleep; the noise is nil

There is not even a spark.

I wish it could be this way

But not really every day

To have some peace and some kind of rest

To get away from daily stress.

But now it’s hard to fall asleep

As I’m enjoying the calm

It’s such a pleasure to feel like this

The worries are almost gone.

We are together,

Forever we will be,

Part of a wonderful,

And great family.

You were so young,

And yet so sweet,

You’re proud to be,

In this great family.

You both matured,

So quick, so fast,

Now spread your wings,

How time has passed.

Now you’ve grown,

Forever you will be

Part of this amazing,

And great family.

                                Luv Ya,

                                Mom xoxox

Even though the weather hasn’t been the best this summer, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time off. Getting up early, taking my time, not rushing, not keeping up with schedules.  What’s the date today? I’m not sure.

But I do know for certain that the time is quickly arriving to get back into the routine of things. I’ve already been reminded by my colleagues.  But am I ready after having such a relaxing two months? My body says “NO”; but my mind says, “NO” at the same time. I have one week to prepare and get ready. Get ready for what?

I guess I’ll be ready the day the time arrives. I’ll have no other choice, will I? So, one more week to go and when the time is right, I will definitely be prepared to start a new day and hopefully a super year.
