It is finished

Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

I saw the word Done and it immediately brought to mind the joy of having finished something.   Come along won’t you?  Join in with the FMF crowd as we talk about the word DONE.  Five minutes of free writing, not worrying over perfection in our writing.  Just writing for the joy of it. 🙂

it is finished, over picture of lad working

“It’s all done mom”
“What’s done my lad?” the words stumbled out.
A foggy head forgetting.
My lad grinned!
I learned how to do it mom,
To spackle and sandpaper it smooth.

“Come see” came the invite.
Rising I followed my lad
An office turned guest room
A way to help make ends meet.

And there
Splotches of white on a
rose coloured background.
Smooth and ready for a coat of paint.
Spackled, holes filled in
and
in the face of a boy
Turning young man.
Pride
Pride in a job well done.

And my heart smiled.
It is so good isn’t it?
To see a job well done?
To see it is finished?

Oh, I can hardly wait you know
to have this room done.
Knowing the lad and I worked on it together.
Learning new skills,
Fixing holes and cleaning who knows what
off the floor.

I so want to say
It is finished.
Maybe you should come and help? 🙂
