In My Corner

I'm going to my corner

Sometimes it's safer there

I'm going to my corner

To contemplate and stare

I'm looking for some answers

The view is better here

For I can see what's coming

And I will be prepared

I'll see the curve ball coming

I'll feel the wind that's blowing

Then maybe your harsh words

Won't penetrate my heart

Sometimes I spend so much time and energy trying to do what is right for the ones I love, that I forget that I need to take care of myself.  I seem to forget that even mother's need a rest now and then.  I forget that when you are in the midst of the fray it is difficult to maintain a proper perspective.  Sometimes in the midst of the chaos I lose sight of the goal.  And when that happens I open myself to unintended wounds from words that pierce my tired soul.

So today, I sit in my corner.  Today I look to regain my perspective.  Today I hope to rejuvenate.  Today I take a step back.  Today I wait.
