This Pandemic Made Me Want to Hear My Mom's Voice (and that's atypical for me)

My mom is a talker.  And she's a loud talker.  Her quiet voice is... well... I'm not sure she has a quiet voice! Of course I love my mom.  We've had our ups and downs as most mothers and daughters have, but enjoy a pleasant and comfortable relationship now, and have for years.  That being said, I've never been one of those daughters that's like, "My mom is my best friend.  We get along so well.  We could talk for hours."  I think it's sweet some daughters have that kind of relationship with their mothers and I know plenty of such mom-daughter duos but, my mom and I aren't like that!  We typically talk for a few minutes, just to catch up, every 2-3 days and see each other once/week, for a few minutes at a time.  My mom likes to spend quality time with her only grandson, my son, every week if possible, which is nice.  So, Knowing the Relationship I have with my Mother (we're close but not 'talk-every-day-kind-of-close...

To Be a Woman is a Walking Paradox

A woman's feelings Who can understand A woman's feelings Certainly not a man A woman is strong yet fragile yet hard yet vulnerable yet resilient yet hell bent... on anything , everything , she finds important at the moment, at the break of day, at the end of day, when feelings can no longer be  kept at bay A walking paradox One that can knock his socks off Just like she can, and that girl over there can too And that's why a woman feels insecure and at times doesn't know what to do Grace and magic gifted unto us from a source, the Universe But we're all gifted, all magic, it's our blessing, it's our curse what could be worse to bear such a strength, such power yet fall weak, even cower, at the strength of another, one of our own, one of our kind one of mystery, of fantasy, one whose beauty is such to make you feel blind Blind to your own, your own beauty, your own source, your own sorceress Your own state of bliss Don't be blinde...

A Poem for Baby Sam

Samuel, my sweet baby boy, You've brought me so much joy! You're perfect in every single way, I just want to hug and squeeze you every hour of every day. Sometimes you drive me crazy but I miss you if for five minutes I'm away! My sweet, perfect little boy, Te Adoro Eres mi gran tesoro, para mi vales mil veces más que el oro. I never want to think of you being far away, I hope that near me forever you will stay, But I know that's not life's typical plan, One day you'll go off and become your own man. However I hope you don't stray too far and even if you do that you never have to drown your sorrows in a bar. May joy and peace and wisdom illuminate your path, Another slightly silly wish I have for you is that you'll be good at math! People that are good at math can write their own ticket, but even if you're not one of them I know you'll be fine and even if sometimes you don't feel fine you'll always be mine. I feel ...
