Things That Give Me Life

I look around and see all the things I use everyday in my life and wonder, do I really need them or have they actually become part of my life.I Love to write, draw and cook. I look forward to Saturday morning family breakfast There's so much that I would like to accomplish, but sometimes I am inclined to take on more than my time permits me to do. I'm just not willing to give up the things that give me life.

 



Things That Give Me Life

I look around my home at things,
Just things to others, but to me,
They are all the precious items,
That help me alone to feel free.

I write, so books and pens are in view,
I like to draw, so my easel stands alone,
I like to cook, so my kitchen's in a mess,
These things that give me life in my home.

I love family, so pictures are every where,
I love grandkids, there's signs all around,
I love my husband, he seems to understand,
He loves all this too, this I have found,

All things that gives me life, all this,
I've been blessed with so many memories,
All things that give me life, and more,
All this was given lovingly to me.

The things that gives me life are the everyday things that seem to surround me. The love of a wonderful man, and the happy sounds and laughter of my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Very nice piece sis. Anything I do in my home for them is a deed of love. Love & hugs.

...and all the things that make a home are what a mother brings into it and holds dear from the grandest picture on the wall to the colouring book picture from the grandkids on the fridge. Well said my dear Cuz, well said.

I really like this, Rose! There is great beauty in the thoughts and values that make up this poem. Except for the easel, this could even describe my own home. I especially like the line, "I love to cook, so my kitchen's in a mess." I for one would like visiting in your home!
Love,
Connie
