“I am fascinated by language in daily life: the way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth.”-Amy Tan
Here’s a little ditty I just composed:
You’ve got to be kidding, it’s 9 degrees!
Icicles are dangling from the trees.
The basement where I write has no heat
My first cup of coffee can’t be beat.
Thinking of what must be done today
Is a short list, but meant to keep things at bay
I’ll exercise, eat breakfast, get over to Mom’s
Do what I do which equals several balms:
A balm for the heart
A balm for the feet
A balm to maintain a steady beat.
A Parent, A Child, We do what we do
The season doesn’t matter for Me and You
Just this cold gets me rattled, but I’m grateful for so much
Like my Hubby, Children, Mom, Heat and such!
So, on with the day, forward in my path
No time to waste on Winter Wrath.
**There’s a great album my husband and I listen to, especially in the winter. It’s a compilation with John Gorka, Christine Lavin, Patty Larkin, Bill Morrissey and others, it’s called “On A Winter’s Night” and truly every song is a gem. Here’s John Gorka doing Bill Morrissey’s “She’s That Kind of Mystery.”
Sweet… 🙂
Thank you so much!
