May Showers (2nd Version)

 We were happy and a little scared, but mostly happy

when we found out about you

I cried and he smiled, feeling a little sappy, 

but excited to meet you


It was Spring, and with the sun came the sun

You were that sun

The streets became green and the flowers started to bud

And my heart started to bud


I couldn't wait to hold you, to see you, to feel you...

here...


Oh, those little cries, little smiles, the things that make life grand

Oh, those little toes, little fingers on your tiny hand

You would cry, we would smile because we know how blessed we are

Now you will jump, laugh, and giggle from afar

I know it's true what they all say

April showers bring flowers in May 


We were happy, a little scared, but mostly happy

when we went to go see you

I cried and he stood there, waiting

we were excited to finally see you


I wanted to see you, hold you, touch your sweet face...

soon...


Oh, those little eyes, little heart, the things that make life life

Oh, those little smirks, little yawns that made me a mother, not just a wife

You would cry, but now we cry, still knowing how blessed we are

You will live and smile up in heaven, from afar 

This year, it's not true what they say

April flowers brought showers in May

No One Wants Me

 Am I anyone's friend really? Sometimes I think I'm close with someone, but then I may see a flicker of annoyance in their face when I act like my goofy self. I feel like I talk too much; well, I don't just feel it, I know it. Why do I have this uncontrollable trait of speaking without a filter or restriction? Maybe it's because I was ignored during my childhood. No one noticed me because I was shy and wasn't "cute" like my sister. So sometimes I feel like people tire of me easily. Is that just me? It's the same at work. Everyone loves this new guy Eryn, pompous as he is. They laugh at his jokes (if you can even call them jokes) and rave at his ideas. Admittedly, he does have great ideas. Still, why do I feel like my boss wants nothing to do with me? Why is he okay with Eryn working from home, but tells me I'm not allowed to? Why does he never ask about me? He forgot my birthday and even worse, when he finally remembered, there was no card or anyth...

The Sun MIGHT Come Out Tomorrow

 Tomorrow is the big day, the day of answers, the day of either relief or distress, the day I'll find out if I'm pregnant or not. I bought the test 4 days ago because I'm NEVER late, with the exception of maybe 3-4 times in my life. Even so, it's only ever a day or two. This time is different. I am now over a week late and nothing. I did something stupid. I went to Old Navy and bought a onesie. Then I decided I didn't like that onesie because it wasn't cute. So I went to Macy's and gasped at the fact that a tiny piece of clothing could cost $30. I quickly left.  I know I haven't taken the test yet, but I got a little carried away! My plan, if I'm actually pregnant, is to surprise my husband tomorrow with the onesie and a card, telling him the big news. I've been keeping this a secret for days because I want to be sure before I tell him. We've been wanting a baby for awhile, so this would be a dream come true,...if it's true. Part of me is...

What's in Her Name

Buford was the name you hated, Eugenia was the name no one knew Genie is what you went by, but Pinmunner is what I called you Whatever anyone called you, we unanimously were aware Of the legacy you'd one day leave for all of us to share Your name holds so much in it, it's weight will stay with me Your name has spread itself around my heart like branches of a tree Even as I sit here typing, I cannot give your name it's full honor Yet, I must try my best so all around me feel in it your ferver Red hair, liptstick, creepy clown doll, and glass after glass of Sunny Delight Matching rocking chairs, strict attention to manners I always wanted to fight Odd clothing prints and patterns that always felt too brash and bold Yet, they seemed to be designed for you, never feeling you were too old VBS at the church, that coy pond, and the hydrangas on the side of the house Bagdaddy's ever loving kindness, in my mind, always the picturesque spouse The love that was shared by mundane, ...
