House Rules
By Lenora Altom
We don't yell.
We feel our emotions and are welcome to do so but nothing negative towards each other may be expressed in a physical or verbal way.
We talk things through calmly and peacefully...
We make decisions together as a family...
Everyone must do their part in the keeping of the home...teamwork makes the dream work!
Everyone is allowed to have a bad day without judgement.
Have fun and enjoy life to the fullest!
Exercise and explore as much as possible.
Inside games are fun but love and respect the outdoors too. You need the fresh air if nothing else.
Don't worry about tomorrow because your God's child and He's got this!
The past is the past, breath it in and let it out and let it go because you can't go back. Live for today!
Breath freely and love freely!
This poem is dedicated to all those who have and are suffering from domestic violence.
About the Creator
Lindsey Altom
For me, writing runs in the blood. I've written songs, poems and short stories ever since I was a little girl. I mostly like to write about my life experiences mixed with a little fiction or just things that come off the top of my head!

Rain didn’t stop Mala. Swaddling for Edgar covered the baby boy’s body and she held her other son’s, Burton, six-year-old hand. The mud, muck, and mire didn’t hinder her from staying on course with her mission. From Pennsylvania, they all trekked to get closer and closer to land that was never promised but simply implied. Each step produced more mud caked around her sneakers. She didn’t care. Her rucksack provided them protein packs to put into plastic bottles and nuts and berries and dried meats to keep their muscles in good health. Water hydrated. She rested. The baby had been asleep the entire time that she had started her journey and her eldest son remained silent throughout the excursion as well.
