Seven

Minutes is all I have to get it all done before my time is up.

Several decisions have to be made before this new year begins and everything changes.

At this point I’m not sure if it’s for the best or the worst.

All I can do is get the things done and hope for the best.

So much to be done but not enough time to sit down and really take my time.

So many voices trying to be heard but, no one really has the time to listen at this point for we are far too busy.

If we can slow down for a moment maybe just  maybe it will all be done and look the way we want it to look.

For after all it’s all for us anyways.

Eight days

until I can truly feel the joy of this season.

The days leading up are all filled with working and cleaning and rushing around to get things down.

When it’s finally here and then the next move will be focusing on the next holiday and the next moment you get to just relax.

Soon it will be just another day of the week and the list of things to do will build up again.

I’ve always

wanted to blend into the background and not be seen.

For I didn’t think I was worth being notice at the time.

I’ve never been the one to stand out and get attention even though sometimes I don’t know if I really want to be.

I wonder if I will always be  this girl who stands among the crowd but, tries with all my might  to not stand out when the opportunity comes my way for change is good but sometimes I’m not good at it.

I don’t

Know how much longer I can hope this friendship is worth holding on too.

Days and weeks and months go by with no words being replied to my text it’s like you have disappeared with no care.

But, the truth is you have not gone far but a simple hello is well too much to ask for when you’ve been away  so long.

I don’t want to think about the time spent when you are not around and when you are it’s like automatic response as if pre-typed.

I don’t want to get upset and maybe as time goes by I just car a little less and soon the tie to the bond we have will be gone and I will have to just let you go and finally walk way from another part of my past for good.

LOVE

That word fills me up inside when I think about you on this snowy day.

I didn’t expect you to come to me that day for it was bad out but, you said you couldn’t spend one more moment without me in your arms. 

And as you lifted me up  that day and I kissed you on the cheek, I finally knew that you were the one and I whispered in your ear ” I love you”. 

And you breathed a sigh of relief as it’s been a little over a week since you said it to me and now that I’ve said it there is hope for so much more to happen between us as this year comes to an end. 

And so we will reflect on all the things we have done since that day and all we have done before. 

And the truth is we will treasure all those moments for years to come when we look back on how far we have come.

Christmas

is almost here and these little moments of us decorating the tree and the house well feels like it’s been a long time.

Since we’ve just sat down and talked to one another about the little and big things going on in our life.

It makes me realize how much we have been taking the time we have together for granted and now it’s time to start building our love and bound back up to where it used to be so strong and beautiful the love between a parent and child.

Christmas

Thursday

means one day closer to being able to relax.

A day of running around trying to get things done.

A day of not wanting to get up and be out in the cold air.

A day where getting up early is not fun or something to look forward too.

A day you want to go by quickly so you can go back to sleep only to start things over again on a Friday.

will this cycle of task ever lighten up and will these bones ever stop aching.

this time of year

is all about Santa, his reindeer or a Christmas tree.

Decorating each one with so much care as the one day of the year comes around again.

Lots of things to do like shopping or decorating the house or just relaxing and enjoying the season.

This time of year just really brings out a lot in people and really makes them enjoy a lot of sweet things that warm them up inside even if it’s just for a moment.
