Someone Once Said

Today has been an interesting but challenging day. There have been positive and negative interactions that at times weaken the resolve. Teaching demands can at times be overpowering and there often is a sense of frustration as these expectations increase.

However I have found testing reading extremely rewarding as I begin a new year with a new group. I really enjoy being released from the classroom and having one on one quality time with my children. I love giving them the encouragement to be their best and the reassurance that they are going well and are going to continue to grow in their successes.

Here is a poem / song I wrote that reflects some of the drama that life can throw upon us!

Someone Once Said

A little voice inside forever it cries

You'd give it away if you're prudent...wise

There's a point to it all...the occasional lie

That keeps it together but too frequent ask why

All about you is lost you count the cost

Your failings speak loud 'midst a hostile crowd

They readily claim you're not quite sane

But you block out their voices time and again

Chorus

Someone once said good things come

To those who patiently wait...for the sun

Will slowly appear...all become clear

As dark clouds disperse...finally disappear

It's a hard road you've travelled...where does it end?

The questions you ask...much further? When?

Any high points or is this as good as it gets?

Keep searching for meanings undiscovered yet

Chorus

Apologies if the mood of this post is rather conflicting but we are complex beings and our days are filled with good and bad and certainty and confusion.
