[hometext] => My friends I see daily are family and my family are friends. None of the past matters. None of the future worries me.
[bodytext] => Life has a way of softening out When age takes over and laugh lines appear Life/'/s old tragedies have lost their clout Gone too, the things one used to fear. Firelight burns to warm the room, Comforting glow in the winter/'/s light The taste of a good sauteed mushroom Decorates supper late here tonight. A visit with friends at noon today, Missed them much and gathered some hugs, Just us old folks in our merry way Ate cinnamon rolls and raised our mugs. We on the edge of life live easy Not worriless, but we worry less Take life as it comes and easy peasy Whether short life or long we may be blessed. I thought about times gone by today How easily terrified in younger times I used to be, where trauma held sway Seeming recovery turned on a dime. Bullets I dodged, and through trauma survived Sometimes avoiding the scene of the crime, Lost my attachment to things here revived, When something is free, it is hard to discard (No matter how little it cost at the time,) So this is a shout-out to my younger self, Go on quite quickly to finding your dreams Leave as soon as you can, jump right off the shelf Don/'/t wait until trouble has robbed you of steam. Thus to the present I raise high my glass Cherish my friends and my pets by my side; They know me here as a most friendly lass Faith has found me a place to abide.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
