Dear Readers of Tennis, Trisomy 21, and Taking in Life Together!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. If you believe you have no one who loves you, know that you do. Believe in yourself and all the ways the world is better to have you as part of it. Call upon the angels who only wish to be heard from you and are there to guide and support you. Every life has a meaning and is a blessing to all of us.
I’m sending this post a few days early for the Thanksgiving holiday. It is a short poem I have worked on for many years, a work in progress just like the poem I posted last week that became much stronger after a reader wrote me her suggestions.
Please stay safe and well!
Face Receding
Ravines spread on your neck and face.
Many are filled with permanent sadness
that need generations to trace.
Others are smaller, with hope
and years ahead, the exact number unknown
but wanting to be overflown
with travelers willing to defy chasms
still wanting to be embraced.
