Every Day It Is Always There
Every day it is always there
Whether in mind or body
Whether I want it to be or not-
Sometimes it's like being haunted
By a constant presence
Of sometimes happiness
Sometimes anger-
But it is always filled with love,
That love is my protector.
That protector is my mother.

Missing my Monday Quote this week I have been sitting on this poem for awhile
and thought it would be worth sharing this week.
In times of stress and anger,
in times of craziness,
and in times of turmoil in this world;
let's remember love is always there.
Sending you love!

Wow -- maybe the best double rainbow photo I have ever seen. And the poem is perfect.
What a special quote, Marilyn. And a double rainbow! I always miss my mom this time of year. Not sure why.....maybe cause her birthday is in the Fall, she loved cooking, doing projects around the house, and always making things better for her family. What a blessing that rainbow was through your sister-in-law's window.

A lovely poem and a beautiful photo.
Amazing photo of a double rainbow. Love is always there, the poet is right and I learn more about God's love every day when I read the Bible.
