stories (grateful)

writing for five minutes on grateful:

start

when i was little, mom had
help with housework and childcare
while she taught art lessons
mary steed was her name
and she was a character
one of many idiosyncrasies
was her commitment to her
stories (soap operas)
we napped during
the young and the restless
and
as the world turns
fast forward 35 years
and i find myself
in love with stories, too
i am grateful
for them
and want to share
a few that i'm following
i am grateful for what god
is doing in these womens' lives
and
unlike mary steed's stories,
these.are.real.
which multiplies the grateful tenfold
