Self-Rule

let me not cry
without feeling
let me not laugh
without sharing
let me not think
without absorbing
let me not be
without being me

Please do not copy my words, thank you. I would much prefer you share yours instead.

Yes, this was me, 29 years ago on February 6th, I had asked Leon to please take a picture because we had none. Our son was born the next afternoon and this is the only picture I have. I wrote my version of a lullaby for Poetry Thursday. You may read it here.


All forty pounds went straight to the belly, so I puffed up my cheeks in an effort to match.

    Ok Marcia, this template just blows my mind. I have to admit it is fun coming here everyday and finding something different. ;)

    I answered your tag of me from way back today with a poetry meme.

    Brian, I had to find someway to blow your mind, my poetry wasn’t doing it! I loved your reply to the meme.
