At times life is wicked and I just can't see the light A silver lining sometimes isn't enough To make some wrongs seem right Whatever life brings I've been through everything And now I'm on my knees again
But I know I must go on Although I hurt I must be strong Because inside I know that many feel this way
Children don't stop dancing Believe you can fly Away...away
At times life's unfair and you know it's plain to see Hey God I know I'm just a dot in this world Have you forgot about me? Whatever life brings I've been through everything And now I'm on my knees again
But I know I must go on Although I hurt I must be strong Because inside I know that many feel this way
Am I hiding in the shadows? Forget the pain and forget the sorrows
But I know I must go on Although I hurt I must be strong Because inside I know that many feel this way
Children don't stop dancing Believe you can fly Away...away
Am I hiding in the shadows? Are we hiding in the shadows?
I am mother. They have made my life, broken me, given me a reason to be and live. They are my soul embodied into a tangible form. Each child is a piece of my innermost imagination, fun, love, trepidation, innocence. I am embodied in my children. I would stand for hours in the rain to keep them dry, I would take any pain away to keep them from crying. I would starve to feed them. I would stay awake for ever and watch them sleep peacefully curled into my side. I am nothing without them. I realize every day how thankful I am. I also realize how many small moments I miss daily. I do have to share them with their father, grandparents, aunts and incles. They are ine though, I hate when they are away. I worry about their safety, well being and get consumed with when they will be back with me. I can't imagine not having my children.
I feel like I am not suceeding in life, because my own true passion in life is falling aside. I have to work, I have no choice, but I am missing so much. The only thing that truly gives me a true sense of peace and fulfillment is being a stay at home mommy. I wish I could still stay at home.
Despite my need to work, I do try and do all I can to be a good mommy, hopefully great mommy. We have our moments of disaray, confusion and downright crazy. I hope the good, the day trips, picnics, little celebrations, time, make everything worth life. I want to do good, right and be the best. My goal and aspiration. I hope they never stop dreaming, reaching or dancing.
I am a divorced mom of 4 children, trying to make a mark without leaving a trail.
I have a wonderful partner I share life with. Loving isn't easy, it is a lot of hard work. People aren't cookie cutter molds, so being together means reshaping the definitions of who we are.
My children are my entire life. The have saved my life, they have given me substance and purpose when I felt listless and misguided. I have a reason to wake every morning, a reason to push just a bit harder every day.
I am negative in a sea of pristeen. I am real where others dream. I am dark in the blinding sun. I am childlike in the most stoic moments. I conform to nothing, no stereotypes. I am it all, everything, in one package.
I am simply me.
We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. ~Stacia Tauscher
