    Better Days

    I woke up this morning and I realized
    People read my life and how much I've cried
    I decided to somehow find a way
    To tell people I have better days
    I have wonderful neices and nephews galore
    We're not finished we're having some more
    I had a musical Dad that could do magic tricks
    A Mom that can cook up some biscuts real quick
    I have children that worship the ground I walk on
    Grandbabies that call just to sing me a song
    It's not hard to find words to say
    I had it rough but I've had better days
    I have a yorkie that sits on my lap
    A big brother that lives to give me crap
    A little sister that counts on me
    To pick up the boys they'll be ready at three

    Mom and I drink coffee outside
    We make fun of the mailman coming up in his ride
    Lifetime friends call almost every day
    To let us know their heading our way
    My cousin calls me every single night
    She won't go to sleep till she knows I'm alright
    So yea alot of times I cried
    But you see how I made it with this family by my side

    A very short space with but a few words compared to Websters, you've said it all. Never having to cry alone is like not really crying, tears of love and tears of loneiness are two different things ... both needed for life. Loved it.

    This was a wonderful journey sherriee. I feel like I've been introduced and accepted into the family. My family isn't quite as close, but I do know they would be there if needed. Good poem. TS

    This poem is beautiful because it is so honest and pure. I dont even look at the structure, or find myself carried along by the simple rhyme, I am amazed at the words that all fit perfectly to tell the story of your life. Please keep writing and keep sharing, you have a lot to express, and keep crying but tears for joy for all that you have that so many would envy!

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
