I am sitting in Creative Arts class and feeling like I am treading water in life right now. Just hanging on to everything and not able to be fully invested in anything. I am already concerned about passing the NCLEX and finding a nursing job. I want to be more involved and invested into my family's lives and just be with them when I am with them. I want to have time to write again. I want to finish my "The boy at the stable", "Let's go home" and "Frankie's gone fishing" short stories. I want to take a vacation with my family. I want to take a nap! I just want to work and I don't want to go to school any more. Aughhhh! (heavy sigh)
Here is a poem written to my wife:
Hello,
My Love!
Hello, my love, good morning
I’ve been watching you for a while
I waited till you opened your eyes,
‘Cause I needed to see your smile
I studied the contour of your lips
And watched you slowly breathe
I still don’t believe that a beauty like
this
Could have chosen to be with me
I can see your warmth in evening’s sunset
And hear your whisper in the breeze.
I even love the funny face you make
When you are trying not to sneeze
I watch you kneel beside our children,
Softly teaching each one to pray
Helping them learn of their Heavenly Father
And how to converse both night and day
I hear your whispered words of comfort
See your desire to do your part
To soothe the pain of a hurting child
And to touch the lonely widow’s heart
Hello, my love, good morning
What can I do for you this week
Can I say something to make you happy,
Wash the dishes or clean the sink
Make a breakfast of all your favorites
Get the kids all off to school
Try to make you grin or laugh out loud
By acting like a fool
We may not have the newest things
That I’d like for you, my wife
But things don’t make a sleeping child
smile
And are not what gauges life
What can I do to show my love,
Give back, for your life with me
I never knew, when you agreed,
What a blessed life that this would be
