My Poem - Artistic Interpretation

 - - - - My SIL had a stroke - - - - 
 - - - - last week.  I wonder - - - - 
 - - - - what it felt like to her.- - - 

My Clouds  

Awoke one saturday morning 
A stormy day coming for me 
Storm clouds gathering darkly gray 
Opened the door a crack to see 

Out of my grasp open it swung 
Gaping, wind and clouds gushing in 
They swooped me up afraid to fall 
With raspy voice clouds spoke to me 

Hold tight, one saying , don't you fall 
There was nothing else I could do 
Up we went to nowhere special 
Clouds stayed with me they didn't leave 


- - - later now - - - 

Dimly through the mist I can see 
Still holding tight I'll not let loose 
Clouds are all I have it's been years 
Feeling safe with them, here I stay

My sister-in-law was airlifted via helicopter Sunday morning to the Shreveport LSU Hospital. 
They gave her wonderful care, ER, ICR, and Friday discharged to her hometown hospital for inpatient therapy. 
She will have speech,  physical, and occupational therapy.   She has heavy needs in all those areas.
We, the rest of family, and many, many others are praying for her, her recovery, and loving family.

A Ditty Poem for Wednesday


What goes up must come  down 

The skeletons in your closet 
They are to be worried about 
Those things will come out in the wash 

What to do what to do--there's hope 
Why were they in the wash machine 
Who was watching this bloody act 

Did you heed Tide cleans things better 
There's hope those dry bones get whiter
