I remember..

I remember my grandparents' house

On Good Friday morning

Six or seven children all gathered

Around the television

We watched the Jesus of Nazareth

for what felt like six hours

While thinking long and hard upon

that never-dissipating hunger

I remember the bun and cheese and going to

Auntie's house for dinner

Not much was done outside

Just took in a brief moment of sunshine

For dinner time I'm sure was fish

And I am sure that I enjoyed it

But the hunger still never left

No matter what we ate

Now it has been a while now

And things have changed so much

The same programs have not been shown that much

And the ones they do are shorter

But i love the memory of Good

Friday at our grandparent's house on

What Can Happen in a Day

Something interesting about my last post...I am not really a poetry "buff" but I sat helping an adult student to get some work completed and since I had been so busy lately I resorted to writing just like I did in a meeting I had a few days earlier...

I wrote about the journey to the hotel as a woman was to meet her friends and have a time of fun and enjoyment. Stereotypical it was, but it did take my mind off the monotony of the meeting. I had to step out and when I got back I could not find the paper. I could not get my mind off of it but it turns out though that it fell behind my chair just where I could not see it.

I am looking forward to May, June, July and August. Lots to read, lots to read about writing and lots to try out in writing. Yaayyy!

I'm supposed to check out this website later...(from JL_C via Twitter)

When One Gets Too Busy

To wind your way out of the present
When you get too busy
The cares and battles of today
Drive you to a tizzy
Deadlines, research and paper work, oh what pressure!
Type this email, send that paper to the paper shredder!

"What must I be doing now" you ask
As you fatten up your planner
"I really should prioritize in an organized manner!"
Can you jump of the treadwheel, take a rest, oh what a dream!
You want to run away right now, hold your head and scream!

Instead just turn your head
to the sky in prayer

Let go of every other thing, find peace and truth you hear

Do not abandon all your plans, you will definitely need them later

But the time you spend to refocus may make your achievements even greater
