LEAVING

Distance existed

Several states

Nameless counties

A safe distance

Misgivings existed

Excuses offered

Verification impossible

Heart strings strummed

You become a facilitator

Stand in the way of growth

Fail as a teacher as

Pupil playing hooky

Look at the miles

So many cities

Task mastering difficult

Easier to give pity

There comes a time

To end the nonsense

Hae to walk the line

But there is no line

With drugs and alcohol

So, the journey continues

And the cold winds swirl

As he lays there dying

MY EVENT

Today I head to the hospital

In Marquette to have my

Gallbladder removed. This

Will be the third attempt.

The first two were cancelled

Because of infection and

Concern over my lungs and

Heart. I had tests and

Everything was satisfactory.

So, here I go. Wish me well

And remember me in your

Prayers. The operation is

To be on the 25th. I think

About the doctor and what

She has going on in her life

That could affect her work

On me. We all have attitudes

And sometimes they make

Us behave contrary to our

Norm. it is human nature

To have off days when we do

Not perform up to par. I trust

That she will be at the top of

Her game and will pray that

She does a satisfactory job

So I can be back home at

Least by the 26th. Amen.
