So often
I see reflected in my children
that of which I am ashamed
in myself.
yelling
anxiety
unkind words.
I am SO over you right now!
I can’t deal with you!
Get out of my face!
JUST. LEAVE. ME. ALONE!
these reflections are so clear
but occasionally
those effigies shine
kindness
grace
forgiveness.
I love you.
These are for my brother.
I forgive you.
In those moments
I am
assured that
it’s going to be ok;
They
will be more
than Ok.
