a lifestyle & parenting blog
It’s not what it always seems,
In life we will find,
Things that we think,
Things that we assume,
Could bite us, after time,
Challenging us to our core,

Hoping to succeed,
Learning the hard way,
Is life’s little test!

February 20, 2014 at 8:49 pmThanks Maddy, yes I am good hun. Life just gets testy sometimes and what better way to vent then through poetry. It always makes me feel better afterwards. It’s like being able to tell your secrets without actually saying your secrets. Not that I have any as a blogger. hahaha

February 20, 2014 at 8:47 pmThank you. I do too. I like to leave the ending open so people guess the ending or leave them wanting more. The story is never finished because life goes on to the next thing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

February 20, 2014 at 8:46 pmThank you Elizabeth, it helps so much to be able to writing poetry and have your true feelings come out. It’s cheap therapy too. As long as I come out with a smile at the end that’s all that matters. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

February 20, 2014 at 7:25 pmWhat a great poem, it makes me think that it’s through challenges that we grow, so bring on the challenges. Just not hard ones!
Jenny says

February 20, 2014 at 8:14 pmThat sounds like it’s coming from a heartfelt place 🙂
Jenny says
February 20, 2014 at 8:45 pmThank you Iona. I like to write poetry about real things and what is going on in my life. They feel more real and heartfelt, like you said. Whether it’s the little ones testing me, the other half or the big man upstairs, challenges come and go it’s how we get on with it afterwards that counts. With a smile. 🙂
