You Don't Know Me , But

You don't know me but I'm your neighbor

I sit quietly as life presents itself

You are so stressed as you walk with your children

they are scolded harshly for so little

you walk your dog and yank his collar

you look stone cold as you start your car

as you see me in your vision, you smile

a hello is said as you bid me goodbye

too tired and stressed to see

exactly how you appear to me

that in itself is completely alright

for do as you please is your right

I once was that single mom

2 kids and their friends

to have much fun

worry of safety and bills and such

took its toll and left me depleated

I understand now, as my illness has progressed

everyone needs fun and then rest

I am not here to judge

just seeing a need for change

life is too short

we need to enjoy,Gods precious gifts

for we need change and not blame
