Poem Artwork

I come upon a day like this,

Where I could easily give myself a kiss,

No pain in my chest area, well actually in my ribs,

But don't let me laugh of cough,

Then for sure the pain will be back on,

And I wouldn't be able to turn it off...

 

I truly do feel better today,

Not sure the reason,

Being its still snow season,

And I don't like another coming storm,

No visit from my aide today, she fell on ice,

And you know that that does not feel for her very nice...

-------------------------------------------------

 

                   "CAN'T COMPLAIN"

              (though I do; too much?)

This camper is not the greatest,

No insulation, the cold gets in and the heat creeps out,

But more than others, I have a roof, floor & walls,

More than living on the street, 

Hiding in alleys from the wind & snow squalls...

Nice crop of snow you got there, my friend. Very Little snow in Oshawa this year, less than a tithe of what we usually get.

Hang in there, I'm pulling for ya

Just yesterday I stubbed my toe
It's nature's way to let me know
Just who the heck is still in charge
In case my head tries to get too large
Like you our blessings must be kept in tune
But holy crap am I ever ready for June.

Gather some warm blankets, some afghans and put them over you and sit with your knees covered up too and maby you need a wonderful warm wooly robe to lounge aroun in too. There are ways to keep warm and dress warmly. And drink hot cocoa and tea, they help too.

I come upon a day like this,
Where I could easily give myself a kiss,

... well, here's a cyber one from me, too! :)) XXXXXXX Cyber hugs to insulate some warmth, as well... Keep upbeat and as active (mentally if nothing else!) as possible, Ed... all that feel good certainly starts in the heart, that's for certain sure! I've heard it said that the Fins always carry a candle in the car... apparently it can heat just enough to keep the inside of a vehicle warm should they ever get stranded; not too sure about that, but the little light is comforting and a real sign of life and vital energy. Plus they smell nice! :)) Love to Rene: sounds like she'll need your physio hands when she stops by... now THAT should keep the fingers warm! Take great care of yourself and stay safe. xxx

Brrr. Reminds me of UP Michigan, only add a few feet, lol. Here you backeasters are really getting the drifts. But look--sun's shining. Love the way the sun reflects off the snow. No snow here. Had one storm and it melted. Mostly fog and rain. Becoming more like the coast as years pass. And a few days have been unseasonably warm--what a tease.
Like your gratefulness for what you have, Ed! Always someone worse off than us. Bet you're looking forward to Spring. Hope you continue to fare well...
