Whats a few Storms?

Weathered a few storms here and there
Became a real juggler extraordinaire
There’ve been hoops to jump through
There’s been a balancing act or two

You’ve worked hard to make ends meet
Bowing sometimes but never in defeat
Dusting off is just a matter of style
Yours is an incredible, invincible smile

Home slumbers on, as you rise anew
To do it again in the thronging milieu
Seeking strength, hold the line steady
Enduring well, faithful, always ready

A bending kiss upon the tousled brow
“See you soon my love, must go now”
Your shadow casting upon the walls
You tiptoe quietly through the halls

The routine of days, unerringly forge
Passing through life’s inevitable gorge
You feel the rhythmic wonder of it all
The Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall

Homeward bound with joy filled heart
Completes another day of familial art
At times sensing the invisible applause
Audiences high advocating your cause

Whisperings of well done in your head
That invincible smile lays down to bed

Invincibly Yours,
Papanui the Storyteller
