If You Only Knew

hexastich with rhyme I drink my coffee standing on alert knowing that my tasks move this chunk of dirt on its axis... my world, my family. Of necessity, I grab at moments attacking life (with God) at faith's expense wringing out each ounce of kids' energy. I am a mother raising young children as a chef, cop, coach, and comedienne. Past these headwinds, I see in the distance - a doting old grandma, coffee in her hands Bible in her lap, waiting in the stands sharing words worthy of God's remembrance.

I welcome your comments always, Paula. So many women, though married still, must do most of the raising of the children alone. I praise those "special" single moms. Thanks for your encouragement.
