The rooms of my heart

My heart has many rooms; I am a mom.

Many may think that as a mom you don't have feelings but I do! My rooms are full and at times run over with emotions good, bad or indifferent.

There is that bright yellow room full of sunshine and flowers that blooms all year long.

The green room is full of growth, some beautiful trees reaching to the sky and some dainty little saplings.

Blue is the room that is filled with anguish and despair. watching closely as the ruins close in; when you listen closely you can hear the pain and see the hurt.

The red room has a whirlwind of anger with words to match.

I try to focus on the rooms that give me peace but realize that the rooms that hurt and cause me to be angry take over at times.

I can try as I might to keep the house of my heart nice and neat; keeping the doors locked to the intruders. They always seem to find that window of opportunity to sneak pass my guard and so the story goes.

  1. Are there really mother's that think they don't have feelings? I suppose so. Guess I may even know a few... perhaps you could combine the rooms of anger and sadness and that would give you and extra room to redecorate with pleasant thoughts :) Perhaps a room for prayer and dreaming in your favorite colors :)
