Puddles and Dandelions
When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch
of weeds that are going to take over my yard.
My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff
you can wish on.
When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I
see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money
and I look away. My kids see someone smiling at them
and they smile back.
When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a
tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit
self-consciously and listen. My kids feel the beat
and move to it. They sing out the words. If they
don't know them, they make up their own.
When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against
it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back
when I walk. My kids close their eyes, spread their
arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing.
When I pray, I say thee and thou and grant me this,
give me that. My kids say, "Hi God! Thanks for my
toys and my friends. Please keep the bad dreams away
tonight. Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I
would miss my Mommy and Daddy."
When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see
muddy shoes and dirty carpets. My kids sit in it.
They see dams to build, rivers to cross and worms to play with.
I wonder if we are given kids to teach or to learn
from? Enjoy the little things in life, for one day
you may look back and realize they were the big things.
So I wish you BIG MUD PUDDLES and SUNNY YELLOW DANDELIONS!!!
