bubble

birthdays are the epitome of family

i'm glad that we have family
to share good times with

some days i can't see the
many blessings for the
blur of every day details

and some days my heart
beats extra fast as i
fret that the bubble that
encases us will burst

the bubble that means
healthy children and a
loving husband and awesome
in-laws and an understanding
mother and a new house
and a caring brother

the bubble that i appreciate
because it hasn't always
been there

a bubble is fragile

oh God, protect my little bubble
i pray
