You know, I tell him
I think I am on the edge
of
dark and light
the very top of that damn roller coaster
and I am holding on for dear life
fingers over eyes
uh-oh..\u00a0 he says
yeah, says I<\/p>\n\n\n\n
two days ago, I tell him
something I\u2019ve been afraid to say
(I tell him that part too)
I think I\u2019m having hot flashes
and I\u2019ve been afraid to tell him,\u00a0 in case he\u2019d think that I was old
he doesn\u2019t say much,
goes on loving me..\u00a0 just the same
he knows me well, no danger of me trying to be something
I\u2019m not
then he stays, \u00a0a little extra time walking the gardens
with me, just looking at
things<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this morning\u2019s early start,
he suggests a brisk walk
together
look at the neighbourhood
before he has to leave for work
and I am left
with the laundry
and another really beautiful day
sunshine, with a bit of cloud<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sitting outside by the pond
I\u2019m watching a toad float
on a water lettuce
and I\u2019m thinking, that the greatest thing
about love…
is the kindness
we can offer
and how it is always this,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that
saves
us \u2665<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
