Watching you sleep
Now a favourite past time
Your angelic face so lovely
It is in these moments I forget
All the ups and downs we’ve had
The screams and the tantrums
Your favourite word ‘no’
The stomping of your feet
An angry face
A dropped moody walk
Your scoffs and scowls
All forgotten in this one calm moment
Complete Unproductiveness
Your little chest rising and falling
Listening to the sweet silent breathing
I can’t peel my eyes away
Even for a second
Could just watch you forever
Stroke your cheeks with my finger
So peaceful in your land of snooze

the magic of kindness
Homelessness is hard But one act of kindness can Thaw even concrete —————— The older I get, the more I become very well aware of the privilege that I grew up with. There is no greater privilege than to have a roof over your head and food on the table every night when you come home from school or work. It might seem as though it’s a given or something everyone has when you’re young and naive, sheltered from some of the more harsh realities. But the older I’ve become, the more I realize just how singularly lucky I am. I might not have the means to eradicate homelessness, but I certainly recognize how lucky I am to occasionally have “extra,” and I will do as much as I can for as long as I can to give to those who may be in need, as encouraged by my kind and ever generous parents.
