Got special parts of my heart

Called Child, Child, Child

These special parts of my heart

Always make me smile

 

Love for these children

Forever and always will be

Pleasures, life’s treasures,

Best parts of me

Life is good. Often we choose to look through that lens, and we all know that sometimes the lens will get foggy. What do we do to balance it all when that happens? We redirect our perspectives to see life's natural blessings, daily occurrences right in front of us. The gratitude list, often including the simplest things, will line up for us just like my group of second graders lines up for lunch or recess. We're all preparing for what's next. Some of my life tags are: Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother, Elementary Teacher, Writer/Poet, Jam Maker, Gardener of sorts (flowers), and Nature Photographer. Enjoy this adventurous day.

  1. Children are special gifts to be cherished, loved, shaped, and guided. Of course you know all that. Enjoyed this.

  2. Jan,

    Your soul is showing in this poem.
    It is a beauty to behold. I feel sure
    I must have told you that before about
    other poems. I just can’t think of truer words
    to thank you for this joys from your pen.

    • Thank you, Sarah.

      I received a message from WordPress today—I’ve been on the blog for 2 years! 2 years? Whaaaaat?

      I quickly scrolled through some collections & selected a poem reflecting happiness—ah, one about my 3 children—3 special loves—to share the joy I feel in expressing my writing here at The Pub. Writing brings joy. I’m happy to share here. I’m blessed & grateful. And aware.

      • Happy Anniversary. Our very first day public was July 4th 2017. I was torn between the excitement of our group staying together and the sorrow of giving up our original home.

      • I have fond memories of our old Pub. We’re all adjusting to the blog Pub home I think—even after 2 years. I’m grateful for both places which allow our sharing. That’s an important thing.
