Only Thing Missing (inspired by Ms Feisty Carmelita-Power of 10)

This entry is part of The Power of 10 Poetic Exercise.  The words in bold are the words that Ms Feisty selected for me to use as part of the poem.

Strolling inside my house,

Taking off my shiny red shoes

Yes, they are wonderful to look at

But they are giving my feet the blues

Starting up a nice hot bath

Adding lavender scented bubbles

Pleased for a great day of business

Associates staying out of trouble

Thankful for all of my success

Making money off my passion

But of course I can’t let that fruit

Be the main source of action

My main joy stems from my family

Having children at their best

Embracing their individuality

Pursuing their happiness

And getting support from my friends

Not just when I’m rollin’ like a boss

But also during the toughest times

When it seemed everything was lost.

And as I’m lying in my luxurious tub,

Letting food satisfy my taste buds

The only thing missing, besides my evaporated lip gloss,

Is sharing all of this with someone I love.
