HARD TIMES

Read Kathy's latest

Though my world began in rough times
Not all my days filled in rhymes
I remember daily food school lunches
The bad things coming in bunches
Mom's picture is on my wall
Phone in hand a secretary takes a call
A beauty in her day Liz Taylor lookalike
Things got better when Dad took a hike
Mom's gone now and so is Sis Jeri
But thoughts of yesterday I must bury
As time goes on life has been good to me
The past forgotten as a bad memory
I watch my children in their latest games
Forgotten a young boy in rags doing the same
Today the sun is shining and begins anew
Forgotten are the things that made me blue
And what I know in heaven Sis and Mom are looking down
And knowing that bad vibes are no where to be found
If in sad moments the tears I cannot hide
I face each morning with arms reaching wide
It's my life story to you I do confide
The good the bad the ugly and hard times
A new day is beginning in the latest rhymes
Once again time to put hard times in the past
For if I dwell on them good things do not last
On the outside no sign of pain I wear a mask

In memory of Mom and Jeri happy in heaven
Yet for me a moment of memories
