the classroom...

chicken butt, canon 20 d
yes ,i am a softy.
always have been.
because when i see you i see past the
swearing and the disrespect and the annoying
tactics ~ and i see that little kid who grew up
in an environment that in no way, shape, or form, represented
a healthy, secure, loving, and safe environment.
but you force me to not be such a softy at times.
because if i let you continue with that business,
you will run face first into someones fist, end up
in jail or on the streets.
and i care to much to let that happen.
so i tighten the lasso and lay down the law and
get called a bitch for doing so.
but i dont care.
beacuse i know at the end of the day you
know it is i who am rooting for you. and i might
just be the only one ...
you push me to my limits and make me dig deep
into my heart to find patience and strength.
and i recognize you are teaching me as much as i
am trying to teach you as well.
and our spirits met with the agreement to
do so.
so today instead of being completely frustrated and
pissed off at the day's events,
i will bless the day instead. knowing much greater
things were occuring behind the scenes.
a testing of our spirits.
a strengthening of work that really matters.
