T Is For Tightrope

Tightrope walkers
High wire dancers
Caught between
Too much and not enough
Finding the balance
To be  
Amazing and stupendous
Mothers

  1. Nice work, Michelle. I think we've all spent some time balancing without a net.

    1. Sometimes the wire is low enough we don't need a net....it's the other times I don't like to think about!

  3. I love your poetry, Michelle, and I have been noting your tightrope walking for a spell now. Too much...love?...Not enough...time?...Those would be the words I would insert.

    1. Thank you Mark! Sometimes my kids would agree...too much love=too much mothering=a little smothering! But they know without any doubts where my heart lies, and that's what is most important to me.
