Hello everyone;
I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Not Dead Yet, Me
Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.
Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.
Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.
that something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.
Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Kiss of the Moon In a few days it will be the anniversary of my Dad’s birthday so of course I wrote a poem for my Mom. 🙂
Donna Rampton this one is for you. Thank you for all the memories and sharing the mornings with me.
Kiss of the Moon
Strength is what I see
Up before the sun
with you alone, for my own.
I am sure they will Golda! Thank you!
Adore this! Hope my kids will have similar beautiful memories of me
