Second

CaroleHeidi

Second is sometimes better than first.

First can feel like a dream. Unreal. Unstable.

Second cements first. Holds it steady. Keeps it in place.

After first, hold on for second. It’s even better.

I'm a 30-something mum of two Not-So-Small humans, a cat, & a rottweiler. I read a lot, write a bit, eat too much cake and have dubious taste in music. I'm a Leader in Squirrel & Cub Scouts, and if I'm not at home, I'm probably at the Scout Hut. My hair is usually some shade of blue...

One thought on “Second”

  1. I like the idea of second cementing first, holding her up, making her what she is (and agree). Just as I don’t understand the march to condemn middling – the world needs mediocrity, occasionally, to support and push up the best and give us a gauge.
