Let’s bid good morning to whatever lies in wait, today
The sun shines bright as though in welcome of
A brand new day beaming with
Unknown possibilities galore in store for
You and me, and as we take a moment to
Pay tribute to our good fortune, let’s
Feel thankful for the temp being under
100 degrees outside while no one we love has
Need to be hospitalized inside, sooo
Though Will and I maintain quarantine for safety sake
Our love of family and friends feels fancy free to
Dance up and down 32nd St. with appreciation of
The fact that all whom we love are well, and
As my absence of energy feels inklings of being
Refueled with high octane positive focus, other than
Missing our sons—already—all feels right with
Our little corner of the world—today
And since there’s no mistaking the fact that
Today is today, there’s no reason to feel sad
Because, today, offers us reason to enjoy
The rose garden that no one promised, so
We chose to plant and nurture
One, thorns and all, by ourselves with—
So goes the song—a little help from our friends
I feel as though my spirit’s host of inner strengths
Would not revitalize so gracefully, time and again, without
The constant of Will’s love by my side, striding forth toward
Striking down each fire breathing dragon that hath
Thus far failed to lure me into its cave whenever
My spirit feels too weary to rally enough to take
So much as one more step forward on my own
Will is every bit my champion as had been true during
Times of yore when knights, throwing gauntlets, were
Seen holding standards high, riding off to
Battle the fiercest of foes on the mighty backs of
Magnificent steeds with their favored lady’s
Fragrant hanky secreted ever so
Securely within a hidden pocket of their armor
(Yes, my friends, within modern day layers of
All-work-no-play armor, tender pockets of
Romance (which we all historically long for) are
Still to be found, harboring good luck charms, such as
Rabbits feet thus assuring each noble knight of achieving
Quick footed victories by barring all fear of facing defeat
Truly—Will’s made a full time job of placing
His medical expertise in charge of every detail of
My medical needs, thus assuring himself of
Nothing falling through the cracks with
So many doctors and PA’s on my case both in
Phoenix and Houston ...
Truly—My spirit could not remain so upbeat without
Will being at the helm. And with that
Awareness clearly stated—
TADA! Just like that, my rose garden feels
Much less thorny, today, than had been true when
I was hospitalized in need of blood transfusions, just before
Our sons drove into town expressly to nurture
Their mom, dad, each other and
A blond, bronzed, blue eyed, five year old water sprite, who
Adores her doting uncles for sound reason
And once the story of our marriage continues to unfold
More concerning Will and Annie taking turns
Saving each other in real life is sure to be posted, because
Taking turns saving each other is what real live
Princes and princesses are meant to do as both overcome
Adversity by developing half baked inner strengths ...
