LONESOME DAY

Weather is gray, cold, and windy

Not fit for human or beast

Not even with bread baking

And the lovely fragrance of yeast

I sink my thoughts into what I’ll do

And I find it much to long, so I’ll

Jump from one thing to another

Maybe it wont take as long 

The laundry is started. Two loads

In all. Then the drying and bed making

You can see I’m making progress

Clean the kitchen, I’ve made a mess

Cocoa all over the place. The water

Boiled and spattered. I’ll finish and

That is one less. Now it is time to

Rest. Must prepare for my physical

Therapy day. They’ll beat me up

Trying to help. I didn’t want it this way

Sometimes you go through hell just

For a simple spill. It has been two yeas

And I am not over the hill. But I’ll keep

Working, they encourage me and tell

Me I’ll be fine. By summer I hope they

Are right. Enough of this being alone.
