I thought I was pregnant
only to find out I had hit menopause
it slipped in slowly
not noticing
they said to eat more meat and less carbs, and the gas in my stomache would go away
I was wondering why I was still thin, just a little bit of tummy rumbling like Winnie the POO
My stomache was rumbling and grumbling
as we age
sometimes we change like leaves veins
I have seen some people's hands
I have looked in the mirror praying to be still beautiful and seen old people hold hands and snuggle
and wanted to feel that still
and I have friends now to share the futire with liek a buffet to choose the best
starting and building as a friend
day by day a new beginning to love ans share with someone
let us grab every happy moment like a unfolded origami swan
or a sea turttle swimming gracefully on
let the parkiling water purge away all fear
I was so afraid in the ER
old memories and pains were close
but today hugging a friend and seeing the blue sky and sun
I am given another day
what will we do with the days we are given from the Lord of Heaven?
