There would be songs sung by a choir
I would have a white robe, a halo newly acquired
I’d be at peace and I’d have no desire
If I’d lived right
There would be cherubs with tiny harps arrows and bows
I’d have a halo and a flowing white robe
I’d be enfolded by a celestial light
If I’d lived right
I’m feeling hot and bothered under the collar
I feel the sweat breaking out on my brow
I feel the heat and I know it’s the passion
The love I can’t disavow
If this is a dream, wake me up now
If this is a movie, let’s edit these scenes out
It would be a PG instead of an X-rated life
If I’d lived right
Some would call me a cheat, call me a liar
Say that I’ve been defeated by the basest desires
Yes I have strayed and succumbed to my vices
But I tried to live right
But I have no regrets, no guilt in my heart
I only feel sadness for any pain that I’ve caused
I guess I wouldn’t bother to worry at all
If I’d lived right
Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules?
Do you care what is thought by others about you?
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the future, the present, the past?
If there is one thing I know, I know I will die
If anyone cares, some stranger may critique my life
I may be revered or defamed and decried
I tried to live right
There would be songs sung by a choir
I would have a white robe, a halo newly acquired
I’d be at peace and I’d have no desire
If I’d lived right

Above all else, I am a mother. I've been told by my closest friends that I am a fighter, but I actually roll my eyes at that part of my identity because I really don't enjoy fighting. I'm just good at it for the most part. The thing is, I write about whatever is on my mind, which appears to be a big mess sometimes. I mostly think about my kids and the people they are and how to help them become who they want to be in this world. I love them more than anything in this world. Sometimes I write about giftedness, autism, trauma, schools, mental health and chronic illness because those are all things that affect me. I have written about deaf and death because it has been a bit part of my family life. I write about my own life and the people in it and I try not to hurt people's feelings in the writing process. I hope what I write touches peoples hearts and opens people’s minds because I think people in our world need to have more understanding and compassion. I tell it like it is. Read on. View more posts
