In Remberance of my Aunt Clarice.

The verse to follow is a little of my thoughts for my Aunt Clarice who passed over yesterday after a battle with illness and pain from a broken hip. She will not feel the pain now of broken bones but the lose of her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, left behind to morn her departure to Summerland where she will find peace. Aunt Clarice may have left but our memories of her will forever stay with those who she loved and extended family.

I remember Aunt Clarice
with fondness, appreciation,
she gave of herself, her time
day or night without complaint,
a meal or bed always on offer,
she shared time and food,
washed, ironed, cooked, cleaned,
her work never done
bust was her way of life,
I can picture her in Summerland
scrubbing clothes by hand
moping floors, cooking, ironing,
taking care of those in need
watching over her family
till their time has come to be with her
to show them the right path
from the doors of this world
to the next where she will
once again take special care
of loved ones she had to leave,
may her light shine the brightest
each moonlight night
and in the darkness
to guide you one and all,
life goes on each day
memories never fade.

Santa Claus Took Our Mother

We have been very naughty for our parents. Disobedient. Yelled at our mother. We had nearly driven her round the bend. Caused disharmony between our parents. Our mother had started to withdraw from everyone. We annoyed her all the time to have our own way. We had bicycles but we were reckless when riding them. Careless with their care. We didn't appreciate the presents we were given. Our mother could see what we were doing and warned us to keep off of the road. To stay in our own yard but we never listened to her. When she wasn't watching we rode out of the yard and down the road. Most days, we were away for hours, never telling her where we were going. Or asking if we were allowed to go. Or tell her how long we would be. Never a day went past without us grumbling, or fighting. We didn't let her have a moment's peace. She tried to get us to share our toys, and books. No. Not us. We wanted everything our way. She gave up on us. She kept mu...

Lights Out

Lucky for me I was on the second floor. Or on the steps when the lightning struck the power pole down the street. Hopefully, I'd find my way to bed without walking into any obstacles. Unlucky for me the house I lived was haunted. Things went bang in the night. A glowing apparition appeared out of the darkness with a lantern to show me the way to where. Even though I screamed, he beckoned me to follow him. His back was turned to me. I didn't see his face. A scared face fresh from battle with blood dripping from his cheeks to dampen the front of his shirt. Unlucky for me, he took me to the wrong room. He took me to the room where all the dearly departed were having a wow of a party with music and dancing. A cold feeling ran through my body like a ghost walked right through me. I was rescued by a real man. He was leading me to safety. But I was wrong. The floor opened before us letting us fall over the edge floating through space to softly land on solid ...

Trust Respect I didn't have

In a marriage there is suppose to be trust and respect, if not there, what do you have? For most of my first marriage I didn't receive either from my husband. The partnership consisted of three adults and the children. To come to that answer you have to have a wife, husband and his mother pulling strings, and sticking in her nose where it was not welcome. The main reason for her interference was to take my daughter to raise because she only had sons. But I fought tooth and nail until my life was in question. After my third pregnancy I was advised by my doctor, and a specialist, to do something to prevent any further pregnancies. The pill was not an option because my system will not take to induced foreign medication. A fitted application I refused because it didn't stop you having more children. I spent time with a woman in the maternity ward who had given birth to another child and the piece came out with the afterbirth. So I went for the permanent solution. I had the tubes ...
