Today my boy is six
Told me He's half-way Between A toddler And a teen No way I thought But He's right Also said He's sad To see Five Gone And that is life My dear boy That is why We live every day To the fullest And why we let go of The past Last night We let go of lots From this year Past And then We gave thanks For all we loved And love And set Our sights On more Of all We love For this year For six Half way Between A toddler And a teen That's my boy My baby I held in my arms For the first time 6 years ago My Phoenix boy Who came to us Our gift from God Our boy Both Sweet and strong Wild and calm As can be Just depending For that is My boy of Six And Five hours 14 minutes Right now Some miracle Window Opens For parents On their Children's birthdays Grace of God Is ours Faith Hope In Life Our future Shines bright So today On his day I pray For the way Ask for help To heal Be whole For him For me For all us parents What is the way? To this place When the pain Becomes our gift When we surpass The past I know of The way Just staying On the Path Is the challenge So this day November 14th The day Of my son's birth 6 years today I commit To my path Follow the discipline Of my way Because I have tasted of it I have dipped my toe in it But I seem to choose To go back To where I feel safe In fear But Do I Really Feel Safe There?

Hi friends, I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative." This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family! Archives
