Balance

On a busy week day, my younger one walked in and exclaimed, “Mamma, please can you play with me, now! Just for a little bit please?” I replied with my head in my emails, “A little later honey!”

Days later, reflecting back at that moment, I penned these words with the realization that it is all about the conscious choices we make every day.

“Balance” is a collection of haikus that on their way also shaped into a poem of sorts!

With work and home tasks

It’s all work, no play today

No balance I say.

 

Cooking and school stuff

Days and nights just pile on me

Where’s the time to be?

 

Go on, take a break

And snatch moments in your day

Be with each other.

 

Play in the garden

See all the colours around

Sit down and be still.

 

Smile, go for a walk

Or jump in muddy puddles,

Just giggling away!

 

Joke, tickle and hug

Spend time, know each other more

Grans, parents, kids too!

 

Go make it happen

Be present with love and joy

Live with balance more!
