MUD PUDDLES AND DANDELIONS ....
When I look at a patch of dandelions,
I see a bunch of weeds that are going
to take over my yard.
My kids see flowers for Mom
and blowing white fluff
you can wish on.
When I look at an old drunk
and he smiles at me,
I see a smelly, dirty person
who probably wants money
and I look away.
My kids see someone
smiling at them and they smile back.
When I hear music I love,
I know I can't carry a tune
and don't have much rhythm
so I sit self-consciously and listen.
My kids feel the beat and move to it.
They sing out the words.
If they don't know them,
they make up their own.
When I feel wind on my face,
I brace myself against it.
I feel it messing up my hair and
pulling me back when I walk.
My kids close their eyes,
spread their arms and fly with it,
until they fall to the ground
laughing.
When I see a mud puddle
I step around it.
I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets.
My kids sit in it.
They see dams to build,
rivers to cross
and worms to play with.
Enjoy the little things in life,
for one day you may look back and
realize they were the big things."
My wish to you....
