AWAITING MONDAY

 Man plans and God laughs

That’s what we say

When plans don’t go our way

Which was true

Yesterday and

Today, which

As you know, is

Mother’s Day

On Saturday

David drove in from

The coast, arriving

Safe and sound

As planned

However

Our plan for

Fun in the sun

Fell apart after

Steven dropped off

Ravi, who declared

She’d like to

Sleep for

A hundred years

Seriously—

What seven year old

Says something

Like that on

The day that

A favorite uncle has

Arrived in town and is

Ready to play?

A seven year old with

A fever, no less

And as Steven was

Attending

A memorial service

We snuggled Ravi up

Under the comforter in

Our king sized bed where

Good as her word

She fell right to sleep

And as Ravi was

Still under

The weather, today

Our plan for

Mother’s Day

Changed, as well

Since Steven only

Stopped by for

A short spell as

Ravi was not

Happy at having to

Remain at home so

After Steven left

Our home

Will, David and I

Decided to

Enjoy dinner at

A favorite restaurant

Thus keeping

We three happily

Occupied so as

Not to have

Too much

Down time after

FaceTiming with

Barry’s family

Being that tomorrow

We expect to

Receive

The pathologist’s report

Concerning

Last Thursday’s

Ultrasound/biopsy, so—

With hopes that

Your Mother’s Day

Has been both

Happy and healthy

Let’s say

Good luck

Good night

Sleep tight
