and some days....

and some days i just want to lie in bed and dream about all that makes my heart smile.
dream of things that make the world a happy place.
dream ideas to grow love in my neighborhood.
think memories of those who are no longer here...
feel hugs from those i cannot feel today...

and some days... in my pillows and my thoughts i wish that my time were always mine.
that dishes did not need to be cleaned.
that the trash did not pile so.
that my children would tidy without asking...
that dirt did not do as bunnies do and multiply before my eyes.

and some days i am blessed with thoughtfulness
and love that spills over my cup and onto the floor.
some days i leave the dishes for tomorrow and play in paint instead.
hubby never says he minds.
i will talk on the phone with my dearest friend.
and one day... she will live close enough for play dates.

some days, in the middle of the swirling and the twirling of life around me
i know just who i am. i know just who i want to be.
i see my children for who they are... and who they want to be...
i feel at home in my skin.
i feel my pieces come together.
some days, it's just good.
