Joshua And Ruth (Free verse) by amanda_dcosta

There have been days when I don’t understand why I live and what I exist for. There are those days when things don’t turn right; everything seems topsy-turvy, and I get angry with myself and with everything around me. It’s these times I’m forced to look reality in the face, when I see the beautiful innocent faces of my two little cuddly huggable, kissable angels, I see promises in their little faces; in those beautiful eyes of love and know that there’s a hand at work inspiring me to say Yes, this hell is worth living now.

Not having children, I struggle to relate to this. And the last time I really spent any time surrounded by kids was in a pre-school while trying to research speech patterns. It was their end-of-year party, the sun was blazing down and they had been fed copious amounts of sugar. I can categorically assure you here and now that whatever hell you might be living through, it is nothing more than a little light purgatory in comparison with that day. Perhaps if 'children' were replaced with 'glam rock' or 'spaghetti westerns' it would have a more universal appeal...
Nicely written though.
