Sitting high in the play place tubes,
was my top spot with a stuffed toy,
Such joy I am too big for, it's true,
As I smile at those who can still enjoy.
*****
How I wish I was traversing and hanging high,
In a net I can crawl through.
Wanting to give that way another try,
I realize ropes courses will have to do.
*****
I can still play and feel the same from that time of past me,
the love of crawling around up high not fully disappeared.
What I thought was an elegy is now a poem for rediscovery,
I can zip up through the sky higher than just the ceiling, cheers!

A Good Breakfast and Fresh Flowers
Others may leave, but you will always remain. So, eat a good breakfast every day, keep fresh flowers in your room, and occasionally buy yourself a gift. The secret of life is nothing more than this: what remains in your life amidst the tranquility is what you truly desire—what truly belongs to you. It doesn’t have to be much, but it must be good.

Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

I don't know why everyone pretends that adults don't like playgrounds. Let adults have fun too!
