The Balancing Act
A Poetic Reminder to Myself
Put down the pen
Set aside your phone
Make a simpler dinner
To be present at home
The drive to get things done
Lives strongly in you now
But the moment she is older
You'll regret you didn’t put "it" down
She won’t be small forever
She won’t always fit on your lap
Enjoy this time together
It’s ok to watch her nap
There will be time to finish
All you haven’t done
But for now rest your drive
To love your little one

Pieces of Me ~ Poems by Heidi
In 2022, I came across a bin of my journals spanning many years. It was then that I realized I haven’t told people I enjoy writing or shared my work publicly. I decided to start.
