As I take the wisdom of my mom
I absorb the feelings of my wife
It's the calm before the storm
and the tracks of my life.
In between a rock and a hard place.
As I respectfully listen to some parental guidance
I hear eavesdropping along our bedroom wall
It's the defense of my heart and soul alliance
with the drunken balance to stand tall.
In between a rock and a hard place.
As I vacated my mom's apron strings
I took grasp of my wife's ropes.
It's the child still under the wing
and the household soaps.
In between a rock and a hard place.
As I listen to maternal wisdom with it's ties
I hear my partner in the shadows.
It's breathless cries
and what the heart must endow.
In between a rock and a hard place.
Charles Perry, Jr.
