a bowl of soup a thin mattress to lie on a woman's smile a tenuous touch of a breast a sip of red wine a mark on your mouth from its nectar a laugh at nothing a soft sigh, remembering a dogs cold, wet nose a friend until the very end a drop of rain a race to the nearest shelter a host of memories a treasure chest of proof a newspaper item a school chum died so young a year passes by a joy you feel at still being alive a sweetness of life a caring about the here and now a bowl of soup a thin mattress to lie on ©March 14, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ My grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle. ~ |

Yep, Lori, with time comes the things we all ignore and take for granted, the simple things which make us who we are. Thank you for being here. Word Weaver, I am happy that you found my effort pleasing, and thank you also. So happy to see that you liked my poem, Blues, I appreciate you stopping by, reading and commenting. ~ My grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses.

Haha! Yeah, sometimes the soup is more like a steaming bowl of chowder, huh, steavenr? Appreciate your input. ~ Look hard behind you and you'll be able to maneuver around the pitfalls ahead of you. ~ |
