Next Act

Last week I used the word for the first time against my occupation when filling A’s school’s application form: “SAHM”. That is what I will be starting Apr 1^st, yes on the popular Fool’s Day.

That is what many people thought I was when I announced my decision, so it is apt that I start this phase on this day. But my heart has never felt this “foooller” with happiness.

Apart from getting to spend a lot of good times at home the icing on the cake is going to be a 3 month vacation in India to start off with.

Hopefully this will also mean more posts on this blog. But for now my thoughts are……

The last line: The last scene of this act.

I hope I did well, there is applause.

I hope I left a special mark doing my part,

I hope I lived up to the cause.

At the beginning of the next act,

I hope that I do well that I applaud.

I hope this part will leave a special mark in my heart.

I hope I live up to my cause.

Some like this and some like that

Some are like starved men fighting for the last slice of bread.

Some are like bold words that sound best when unsaid.

Some are like seeds that can’t fight the cold to germinate.

Some are like pests that you have to terminate.

Some are like flickers of a dragon fly.

Some are like a touch me not, too shy.

Some are like a volcano ready to explode.

Some are like orphans all on their own.

These are the kinds of thoughts in my head,

In the name of writer’s block they are put to bed.
