Inventory of Being

My name is Tigerlilly
I am 48yrs old
I may be older, but am young at heart

My eye’s are brown, or are they green?
Today my hair is brown and down, swept to the side

I am a student, in my prime
I am a lady, with a girl trapped inside
We laugh together, we cry together,
We are best friends.

I am older than Richard,
But younger than Barbara
My father is my hero,
But I would like to dance with Patrick

I love roses and raspberries
I like lace, sugar and spice,
But life is not always nice.

I like sun tea and big shady trees
I love pizza, but pizza does not love me
I love the sound of ocean waves crashing
Against the shore, as I sleep near by.
I love Amethysts more than Diamonds,
Gold more than Silver

I love big cozy blankets surrounded by lots of pillows
And refreshing sounds of nature playing in the background

I hate being cold, but I love the snow
I love walking in the rain, but hate to get wet
I hate sardines and sticky candy
I don’t like close minded and complex people or
Drama King’s and Queen’s

I love my children; they keep me in my youth
I can’t live without my family, but it's hard to live with them
I can't live without water and a place to rest my head.

I love my cats, they love me unconditionally
They bring me comfort when no one else can
Strangely they seem to understand.

I spend too much money on jewelry, seafood, and fuel
I admire the strength and courage of those around me
I would put it in a bottle and sell it for millions

What you don’t say scares me more than what you do say
Life is like a box of chocolates, just don’t leave them in the sun

I am driven, determined and independent,
Yet long to be under the protection of my mothers wings

Life is a journey down many winding roads, sometimes there
is so much to see, sometimes it gets very dark
