May Showers

Verse 1
It was the best day, waking up to take that test; I cried when I saw two Pink lines
It was the best way to start the month of April; along with flowers came a shine
I overpaid for that onesie, but why not splurge when you have the reason?
I held the tiny outfit in my hands, thinking "this is the perfect start to the season..."

Pre-Chorus
I couldn't wait to tell my baby, my lover, my man
That soon, very soon, he'd be a dad...

Chorus
Oh my, those tiny toes and tiny hands that I would soon touch
Oh my, those little cries and little smiles; I can't get enough 
The flowers bloom and so do you, my baby
It must be true what they say: April showers bring flowers in May...

Verse 2
It was the best day, waking up to get ready to go hear that heartbeat
It was the best way to start the month of May; it would bring a baby I could see
I walked in the office, both nervous and excited for the oh-so-special moment
But I didn't expect to see or hear nothing and to wait; everything was different

Pre-Chorus
I still had a smile, and my baby, my lover next to me
I thought soon, very soon, he'd be a dad...

Chorus
Oh my, those shining eyes and shining heart I wish that I could see
Oh my, those little kicks and twisting tricks he/she'd have up their sleeve
The flowers bloom, but I can't tell if you are, my baby
I hope it's true what they say: April showers bring flowers in May

Bridge
I waited and waited and waited, fear tearing me apart
For the next appointment, when I would hear your heart
But the day came and the hope vanished when I heard what I heard
That you weren't alive and I wouldn't be giving birth...

Chorus
Oh my, those tiny toes and tiny hands I'll never get to touch
Oh my, those little cries and little smiles; I'll never have enough
The flowers bloom, but oh, not you, my baby...

Oh my, the tears fall down and I drown in the misery
Oh my, my heart drops and I stop; you're a part of me
The flowers bloomed and now I'm doomed, my baby
Now I know and I say: April flowers bring showers in May

Ending
And it's pouring today.

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, ...
