It's been a few days, but I have good reason for not posting to my blog. I have been preparing a few poems (3) to recite for two events this weekend. Yes, it's that time of year again. Mothers Day is Sunday (just in case some of you forgot). I have learned that writing a poem is easy but remembering it is even harder. Most people think that since you wrote you should be able to remember. Well, this is not true. I write a lot and it's very hard to remember everything that I write. So, this has been a challenge for me. And let's not forget getting nervous. I don't know why I get so nervous to do something I love doing. I love bringing joy to people with my words. I love to see people smile at something I created. You can't place a dollar value on a smile. I guess I am afraid that I will disappoint my audience and I won't get that smile. I don't know what it is. All I know is that my nerves get the best of me sometime. This is why I have to put so much time into learning the poem well enough to flow even through my nervousness.
I am in Starbucks right now with some headphones on listening to myself over and over until I go to work. I'm trying to get it down pack because I am getting nervous now. So wish me luck because I need it. Happy Mothers Day to all and remember that Mothers Day can be any day you make it.
