So I was asked if I was going to join in on this project of blogging in April. I am not a good blogger. I have tried several times, yet I fail to maintain. But is the point more that I finish or that I begin and try and try again?
One would think that at my age it would be relatively simple to complete things started. Not true. Some days I forget to finish the cup of coffee I started. We won't even discuss the other things I forget to finish.
I consider me and who I am and I believe that my blogging will be short at the moment. I remember my grandmother saying to my mother one time, "A little something is better than nothing!". I never forgot that. I have no idea why but it has stood me in good stead these many years later and I fully understand it now.
A Little Something:
Copyright © 2019 by Patricia D. Jones
Who I am is who I am
many titles attached to me
I am not what you always see,
I seldom am.
You see me laughing,
I may be crying
(typical and cliché, I know
but oh, so true)
Title: Teacher
Job description: Trainer,
molder and developer of
the young mind.
No, I deny and defy
that description.
I want to shake, rattle and roll
that young mind until...
the extraordinary comes to pass.
I want to reach their depths
touch their hearts.
Inspire to desire
to dream more.
Title: Pastor's Wife
Job description: seriously unknown
Your expectations
I can't meet
I stay quiet
in my seat
as I watch
the show unfold
wondering how some
can be so bold
You have certain expectations
Sorry, dear Congregation!
I am who I am
Not what your desire may be
God himself
created me.
So as He molds
and makes me correct
you will have to wait
be satisfied
with what you get.
Title: Wife
Yeah, it's not
what you think
the wedding
is only a day
the marriage
is a lifetime.
If you so choose.
I do.
No it's not
all laughter
and joy.
Weeping may
endure for a night
but JOY does come
in the morning.
I have learned
to recognize
my morning.
So these are small pieces
of me
that I allow you
to see.
There is more
to come . . .
