Swagger and Gold

As I look over my life and pondered for a moment

I can see so much sorrow, despair, and lament

Sure I can pick to cry to all my heart's content

Or I can choose to get these things out my head

I prefer riddance or expulsion

I have no need to fret

There must be some good things

Waiting to come to me ahead

I can dream of miracles, shining stars, and happiness

I can be mysterious, yet happy like a princess

Joy, peace, and content, I want to express

With palms and wrists together, I pray for success

So here, I am Oh Lord with my swagger and gold

Looking up to you to greet you with my sobbing on hold

It's hard to bear these troubles, I need to be consoled

Beneath my smile and swaggers, I feel so cold and old

--oOOOo--

Oh well, just this week I went to court with my daughter. Next week, we will have another "trip" to the court. The troubles with my teen son and daughter are not over but at least they are staying home. Anyway, I got to do some fun things like going to my daughter's volleyball banquet in high school which also marks the end of the volleyball season in school. Her coach made a short speech about each girl and she said my daughter has two more years of playing for her so I assume my daughter will be in varsity again in junior and senior year. I also got to watch her twice practicing in volleyball club that started this week. So, all in all, I had an okay week.  There are moments that I feel down especially when I was in the court room, so the poem above is still fitting. 

Lord help us.

If you want some 12-word inspiration to write a post, check here. It is a stress reliever and it helped squeeze out some creative juices in me especially that I am feeling kinda dry these days. LOL. If you're silly like me, you can even look for an image too. I was really looking for a golden swagger to match my poem but what I found is a pizza background instead with "me" praying in front. 

Have a blessed Sunday.
