Life’s Worthwhile


 


Have you ever noticed when we dream


We are the hero in every scene


The woman so beautiful men stop and stare


Or the upcoming artist with just the right flair


 


Then to awaken and reality sucks


The sink is plugged and the dog has bugs


The laundry sits piled one more day


Ice cream on the counter, left out yesterday


 


I tackle today with a sullen mood


Plunging the sink, trying not to brood


The laundry gets washed but I hate to fold


As my list gets longer, I’m feeling old


 


The phone rings, greetings from my son


Idle chit-chat ends with “I love you, Mom”


I may not be a hero but my life’s worthwhile


Wrestling the dog to the tub, I have to smile

What a nice touch of "Reality"! I agree: Life is worthwhile, even with its ups and downs; there is always something to make us smile.
Thank you for the smile today,and continued success.

RaeLynn,
This is a wonderful piece of Americana and life as we know it for a Mother and/or Father. Dreams vs Reality. This poem brings a smile to my lips and an audible chuckle.
You are a hero to many, and that most certainly includes me!
I love you. Kathy

Very realistic and oh so true! This is a fun read! About your bio - I also didn't write for years because I thought I was obligated to live my mother's dream for me. Now I know that the writer in me was only slumbering. Being discouraged during an impressionable time can have the same effect. Glad to see you being true to what's in you!

Oh, this is so adorable. Everyday mundane tasks brought to life by your choice of whimsical, loving words. Yes, sometimes it is better to dream.....

Be safe,

There is so much truth. I am not a Mother, but in having several friends who are, I can see, by witnessing these Mothers' interactions with their children, how they are "heroes" to their kids. In that regard, it does not matter how high the laundry pile becomes or how stacked the dishes, life IS indeed worthwhile.

This is a precious poem. Thank you, RaeLynn.

You are an everyday hero Raelynn that is what mothers are and fathers too for that matter, and I agree with you, no matter how bad things get for me, to get a call from my daughter or granddaughter automatically picks me back up.

Please, don't ever have the temerity to look in the mirror first thing in the morning when you go to the barthroom to see a man about a horse, you wouldn't recognize the gargoyle there!!!
