Time does not believe
In beauty or
Dignity
Make no bones about
It
In the end
We are only
Spirit and skin
Quit sucking
Your belly
In
Bounce
Be momentous
And
Live in the light
Fate waits
To tip
Our toes
Into night
Where we're
Left to waltz
Solo
On our imagination's
Dance floor
This is offered for Poetry Pantry at poetryblogroll.blogspot.com--this week my mom fell and fractured her thigh bone, and while I was waiting to board a plane to see her, my husband texted me that he was at the hospital. His father had a stroke, and couldn't speak. You never know what curves in the road are coming. And it makes me realize how much we have to enjoy the moment.
Sorry, you are having it rough right now Sara - as I kinda said yesterday when I read this at your other place. How are you and your hubby holding up? I know when my mom broke her hip we were taking care of her a lot. My gramma was just put in a assisted community. She hates it but we cant be there all the time. So yeah, life happens fast.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your kindness. I am so sorry to hear about your gramma, it is a tough time. With difficult decisions, that no one likes to make. We are taking it--as they say, one day at a time. I posted in both blogs because I couldn't comment on some blogs as my WordPress account. Wishing you the best
