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!
