I just think about things and write them down

  • Nothing More, Nothing Less

    Nothing More, Nothing Less

    Grow up,Love,Be kind.Care.Nothing more,Nothing less. It doesn’t do wellTo dwell on the unhappiness of others.What do you gain,To live in vain?In pain? Try to understand,And give your hand,Not only to…

    What I wish the mostis for you, my child, to growinto whoever you are meant to be—happy, fulfilled, true to yourself. Never be afraid to speak your mind,never be afraid…

  • What Remains

    What Remains

    No one remembers their first steps,Wobbly feet on quiet floors.First words, first falls,Soft laughter, stifled cries. How could we?Through life, we stumble,We break,We mend,We rise. We grow.And even if memory…

  • I’m Here

    I’m Here

    I’m here,Watching you sleep.After long hours of fever and pain.My heart overflows.Love, sorrow, helplessness.For you, little one. Do you see how fragile you are?How precious to me?To us?Do you know…

    Little Things

    Look around you, Can you see all the little things? Warm weather, but not too warm.Season’s changing.  Life growing, Without slowing, Days passing, Without stopping.  Stop thinking, Stop criticising, Stop judging, Just stop.  Live.  Because later it will…
