Seriously, Sisters

Some of these mantras today
Shake my head
Curl my toes

Living my best life
Can I just take that pressure off?

Most days are hard enough
Loving my people
Caring for my responsibilities
Pursuing my passion

My best? That's a high standard
I cannot maintain
Climbing to the peak.
There's no air up there.

Don't look to me to
Make my past self jealous.
I want to see her
excited about, inspired by, proud of
her future.

The Do-Be-Do-Be-Do days are done
Lay down that finish line
I'm going to take my time

  1. Thank you Sue for the instructions and encouragement. Not one the the sisters however. I understand and I too will not try and reach for high stars in my case.

    • I think these things are probably true for most of us. You shine your light to those of us around you all the time in your own way.
