Ourselves

divided_road.jpg

Life ~ sometimes the force is just too great...

The one who is anticipating this baby like nothing else in the world
The other who wants to jump on a plane at any moment and just run away

The one who wants to find a home with a yard and have a "nice" family life
The other who wants to live as simple and urban as possible so we won't be tied down

The one side who wants to be protected and cared for
The other side who wants to just be independent and do it all herself

The one side who wants to be just a mom
The other side who wants to live a creative, expressive life all her own

The one side looking like jail
The other looking like freedom

The one side can't imagine the life that is about to be become
The other wants to laugh and say "yeah right"

The one side doing everything possible to prepare
The other side just wants to sleep and play

The one who wants to settle
The other who wants to flee, travel, go to far off places, drink in the afternoon, hang with friends, be alone, be free

The one side trying to keep her head above water
The other trying to do the same

We are all one
