It is hard to hear

You speaking constantly

Silence opens your ears

 

Tamara Mendelson

Different isn’t bad

It takes some understanding

Are we all the same?

 

Tamara Mendelson

Open a stuck jar

That no one else can open

Power in that hand

 

Tamara Mendelson

Scars are life’s road map

The survivors have the marks

Of a life lived

Magic Chocolate

A couple of squares a day

Tryptophan feels like love

 

Tamara Mendelson

Thank your strong body

For all the amazing things

It has done and will do

 

-Tamara Mendelson

Feeling unkempt?

Your mother said “Comb your hair”

Don’t you feel better?

 

-Tamara Mendelson

Sometimes I miss you

The good stuff was pretty good

I hold on to that

 

-Tamara Mendelson

A small touch is kind
Quiet generosity
Human connection

 

-Tamara Mendelson

 

No one is to blame
We both said I do, and did
And now it is undone
