On
Your Own Again
Alone,
at last.
No more fights
No more screaming
matches
Hateful looks
(outbursts)
No sullen pouts
No one to challenge
your decisions
Just one in charge .
. . You
It=s what you wanted,
isn=t it?
Responsibilities
B
How to fix the
broken lawnmower
Where IS that
wrench?
And how do I charge
that battery . . . again.
The car B but I just replaced
the tires six weeks ago . . .
Align them, did you
say? Twenty-five Dollars, did you say?
The dryer won=t run
A new motor it
needs.
And what=s that funny
Clanging in the washing machine
Please, God, you fix
it , indeed.

* * * * * * * *
To face the
difficulties of life B alone.
To discover
strengths you didn=t know you had.
To be content with
what you have.
To stretch B and reach B and stretch again.
The path you=ve taken has it=s hills and valleys
Rock and
gulleys.
But the climb builds
strength
And confidence that
you can do
what needs to be
done.
It=s what you needed,
isn=t it?
Freedom
B
To do what you want
When you want.
To drink that early
morning cup of coffee
Without the TV
chattering, bringing you
unwanted news on timely topics
The lovely peace of
sharing your morning
With nothing but the
Shining Sun, the
chirping birds, the rustle of the wind in the
trees
Peace, at last.
It=s what you wanted,
isn=t it.
