PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My Guest or Resident?

Through the grass
my flip-flops crunch
motherhood stressors.
Listening, directions, instructions
pour pellets of sweat
down my forehead.
Teaching, learning, injustices
swat at pesky flies.
Job hunting, money, growth
ward off butterflies.
Faith, hope, soul-searching
calm the restlessness
subtly like a soft breeze.
Inspiration, motivation, determination
shove overwhelming fears
back to the bay
of internal serenity.
God, friends, my son
guide me to their
awaiting hearts.
My summer walk
may be over for today,
but tranquility's here,
if only for a visit.
