You know so many things intuitively, understand the kids’ <br />problems easily, you always manage to explain problems <br />with feelings, when I felt sidelined in their lives you told me <br />to watch out for the surprise – and there it was, a small <br />liqueur glass with sweet Muscadel <br /> <br />Your lopsided smile contritely confessing you knew you <br />were in the wrong, but we can be friends again because <br />I waited and did not say anything – when I explained and <br />could not stop to indicate exactly what was wrong with the <br />scenario of meeting fanatics <br /> <br />Wanting to take over one’s life and take charge of one’s <br />dreams, and you forbade me to go on unless I took positive <br />steps to put those fanatics out of my life, I felt the loss of free- <br />dom – then rejoiced because having the choice to be emo- <br />tionally exploited by fanatics and <br /> <br />To be cherished and over-protected by you; I choose YOU <br />all the time, thank you for being the strict, logical, pragmatic, <br />loving disciplinarian that you are, saving me from <br />a million faux pas…<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2010-11-28-a-million-faux-pas/
