She Laughs

She laughs, because if she didn't
The pain would be too hard to bear.

She loves, because that is what she knows to do.

She protected her son as he grew up,
But he was the only one she could.

She prays, because her only hope is in
Believing that there is more to this world
Than the messed up people she lives with.

She makes jokes,
Because it gets her through the day.
She laughs,
Because it's the only way she can keep going.

Even the Best Jobs

Even some of the best jobs
Can make you exhausted by the end of the day.

How Not to Get Drenched

• Bring an umbrella
• Pay attention to weather reports of rain
• Don't stray too far from the house
• Wear a raincoat or poncho
• Walk very fast or run

Or you can not do this, and get drenched from head to toe

As you scramble back to the house when it starts pouring

And have to dry your clothes while in a skimpy bath towel

That you may or may not have borrowed from a two-year-old.

Yeah, I may have flashed any nanny cams once or twice,

And completely stood embarrassed in the stairwell

As the two-year-old took the longest time ever coming down the steps.

Girl Meets World

As Boy Meets World is my all-time favorite show,
I cannot wait to see this!!
