When I was young I was naive and I was not very good in juggling life. Things happened I didn't understand. My parents were often stressed. They both had a full time job and had a hard time with us strong willed kids. I looked at the dark side...... I had learning disabilities but didn't know and didn't understand why I missed out on many things and looked on the dark side...... I struggled and stumbled and than I got children. They were very strong willed which made me stressed and I discovered there was a reason for their problems similar to the ones I had. They had some hard times but I discovered their strength and than I discovered I had them too. I found out that I had many things to be grateful for. I looked on the bright side and the law of attraction slowly began to work and many good things began to happen and continue to happen so I write these simple words and this simple poem today because I am grateful that life isn't complicated anymore.

They can give me some stress
my kids and my spouse
but I love them to bits
make a home out of my house
my kids and my spouse
but I love them to bits
make a home out of my house
I forget I am tired
At the children's home 11 o'clock
when I find the words on my cellphone
Marja you rock
I like the juggle with words
on my blog I can play
and learn and discover
something new everyday
on my blog I can play
and learn and discover
something new everyday
I dance with the moon
get tickled by the sun
I fall in love with live
when I laugh and have fun
get tickled by the sun
I fall in love with live
when I laugh and have fun
The song of Bocelli
Touches my soul in its core
and the paradise of New Zealand
So much to be grateful for
I can go on and on
but its time to go to bed
or as they say in dutch
het is uit met de pret
but its time to go to bed
or as they say in dutch
het is uit met de pret
Or a good morning for some of you. Ahora marja

You have used your mind so well to convey those sentiments with great eloquence in those beautifully crafted quatrains within a rhyme scheme abcb. Marja you are a poet. Don't you think otherwise.
