It is easy to be depressed

September 28, 2019
It is easy to be depressed,
it is harder to do something about
what is causing your depression.
It is easy to do nothing,
it is harder to figure out
what action we could take
to make any difference,
It is easy to withdraw,
it is harder to continue,
day after day, to believe,
and yet, here we are,
on this blue planet,
We still have oceans
and wilderness,
We are one world
We are one people
and everywhere, children,
who want to be free.
I only have one piece of the puzzle,
I believe in you
please believe in me.

to my oldest daughter

September 19, 2019

I gave birth to you

gave you life,

but God gave you your soul.

You used to cry

whenever I left

or was even out of your sight,

Now you are doing things,

moving to places

I’ve never dreamed

or even thought of.

Feel free to fly

my Jasmine bird,

feel free to become

your own true self,

But know that now,

it is me missing you,

and my love is always

within your heart.
