Broken Hallelujah

Good Morning! Feb 2 - Groundhog Day



Been Thinking

I just heard a commercial on television about a Mother's fears of holding her new born baby. And my mind traveled back to the evening my first child was born. I was 21. As the nurse handed me my son for the first time, I recall that I'd never held a baby before. Would I hurt him? What if he started crying and I was unable to comfort him? I finally reached out for him with all the courage I could muster, put him at my breast, and natural instinct took over that very moment. It's a beautiful thing. I guess I am to take something away from this thought. It's just slow in coming.

Flashbacks

Wading through the waste stormy winter

And there's not a friend to help you through

Trying to stop the waves behind your eyeballs

Drop your reds drop your greens and blues
