Surprise happiness

At work driving up the hill, I see the step-dad's pickup with a little short haired head in the passenger seat, just high enough so that I can tell that it's him. I slow down as I pass the old grey truck turning all of my attention to waiving at him and making sure he can see me, I believe I was waiving with both hands. I had to look like a kid his age when he gets a toy he really likes. We went by too fast to tell if he noticed. So passed him again on another street and he can see me coming this time. They go in front of us and he is focused and waiving like crazy and I'm waiving like crazy, it's like we're mirror images of each other, we both look silly no doubt but it's worth it to let him know I love him.

To see him get so excited to see me just makes my life worth living.

She's the one

She's the one that guided me through the pain.

She's the one that put the band aid on my cuts and scrapes.

She's the one that held me when I was scarred.

She's the one that taught me how to do laundry and cook.

She's the one that gave me advice on life.

She's the one that was sad cause I was sad.

She's the one that told me when I was wrong.

She's the one that saved all my pictures.

She's the one that was by my side when my friends weren't.

She's my mother and I thank her for all she's done for me. Love you mom.
