there is a push and pull between us
of the value of our perspectives
whose truth is truth
whose right is right and wrong is wrong
whose time is worth more
who should sacrifice for the sake of family
whose career holds more worth
there is a push and pull between us
how our faith should look and feel and sound
whose politics are morally correct
there is a balancing and rebalancing
for it all to work
to accept the chasm that will always lie between us
to stand for things and also to put behind us things we value just for love
I am a longtime lover of words, writing, reading. I am happily married with three children who are tip toeing with adulthood. I grew up in a musical home and was taught piano and in turn all my kids play the piano, and two of them, as well as my husband, are gifted vocalists. We love to make music and my copy of Les Miserables is falling apart from years of beautiful memories around the piano. Chopin and Jim Brickman feel like old friends I can't live without. I live in the beautiful city Denver where I am a nurse.
