I Should Be...


















I should be resting but I ache
for the one who is already sleeping.

I should be drawing but I am in awe
of the one who is already singing.

I should be praying but I already
drowned in the boat that was sinking.

I should be giving but I forgot how
to not feel guilty in what I was getting.

I am going to grab Life by the face...

...and then gently kiss it on its head.


Drawing - 2.5 x 3.5, colored pencil and pen.
The words "grab Life by the face" come from Todd, Brother Sonny's Blog. I adore those words.
I shared them with my sister. She added "then gently kiss it on its head." She had me laughing and crying at the same time with that comment.
