Unmentionables
We didn’t have a clothes dryer growing up. I didn’t know anybody who did!
I’m Obsessed with my Grandchildren
The all-consuming love for my grandchildren never “grows up!” They mature in the blink of an eye, yet their tenacious grip on my heart persists incrementally.
A Simple Hug
I’ve missed hugs during this pandemic. Elbow bumps just don’t cut it for me.
I Choose my Love
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
