it's really mine

who knows these days
what tomorrow will bring
we may or may not be here
who knows
I can’t even keep duct tape in the house
it disappears
I don’t have a two week supply
of water
don’t have a cupboard full
of nonperishable foods
don’t even have batteries for the
radio
don’t even know where the radio is
cash yeah right real cash give me a break
but there was one thing
this weekend
in spite of the fear
the damned ole
what Is this world coming to
and where am I going to find myself
nagging me always nagging
we found some joy
some real joy
bought a little happiness
and that really is all that counts
found a little car great deal
for my kid
watched her face when she saw it
tears
priceless
saw the hand off of keys
way up high
the transfer from daddy hand
to baby girl hand
it’s really mine
I can’t believe it
and I thought for a moment
all is right
the world is right
right now
as we rolled over the newspaper
on the way down the drive

Josephine.....you are so right. We need to carry on as normal lifes as possible. We can't stop what is going ot happen, but we can face it as it comes. I am sorry for this, but what is to be done? Now you have the ugly threat of North Korea raising up its ugly atomic head. Bill

Josie how well you confirm the fact that life is made of moments and we must learn to appreciate the beautiful ones for they flit quickly by, and I love the one you voiced here so well, it flooded my mind with lovely memories.Thanks

always kept up on current events but wheh i heard that the first part of 60 minutes was about the place i work, i watched game show bloopers instead. i already know they were accused of inethical behavior, i only hve to look at my once lovely retirement to know it.

Good for you... I didn't get any tape or plastic.. if the worst happens.. it will happen to us as a family. I will continue to play ball, ride bikes, go to the mall.. and give my son the childhood he richly deserves..without all this fear.. Justified or not. Wonderfully written. I love your style.
