Mother's day and poetry

     Today was a great day.  I hope it was for Kari, 'cause I had a great day.  We had a 'family day', which means 'extra' meetings.  We had the three hour block and spent the rest of the day with Kari, and some of the time with Grandma kinmont.   Our choir sang a song with the primary choir, so that meant everyone except for Rorie was singing.  It was really neat!!  We made waffles (with blueberries, strawberries, and bananas), hash browns, sausage, and OJ for breakfast, it was fun.

     I really am blessed to be married to Kari.  She is a great example and an unshakable support.  I hope her day was really special, because she deserves it.

Bridgette brought home her poetry assignment and really blew me away.  She has some really cool stuff.  I hope I don't come across as a braggart, but I want to share a few with y'all.

We love to talk

We hate to listen

We expect others to hear

But we don't open our ears

We need help

But won't tell

We want others to see

But we refuse to look

We beg others not to judge

but can't help but to judge others

Can't we understand?

We must be what 

We want others to be.

Understanding looked at me

Her eyes focused on mine

Her callused, gentle hand grabbed my shoulder

"Tell me" she said "I want to understand"

I looked into her knowing eyes

And my eyelid pricked with tears

As she pulled me into a comforting hug

I told her all my troubles

I finished and she looked at me.

Her eyes seemed to say

"I know how you feel"

As she stroked my hair

Her finger tips sent

A flood of relief over me.

I smiled, Finally, someone understands.

I am pretty proud... I will have to get some more on here later.  I am dozing off a bit right now.  Thanks for your support.  -Kev
