Waiting

You gave this to me:

green eyes
freckled shoulders
a "fuck it" attitude
smart ass lips
a propensity to forgive.

I can't help but ask, did you mean to leave us all here? Holding the bill?

I hear you've got it all worked out.
I hear you've got your famous "plan of attack".
I hear you can't look me in the eyes anymore.

I hear you're living out of your truck.

Where did you go? How did this happen?
Do you remember teaching us that nothing was more important than family?
Nothing.
I believed you.

You gave this to me:

weeping eyes
tired shoulders
a "fuck you" attitude
confused lips
a propensity to forgive.

So good to have you back, your writing is inspiring, beautifully poetic and soulful. I feel so priviledge to share in your thoughts through writing, I think I was harder done by in not having you post the last month than you were. I have been glutenously catching up on all your entries. Thank you, thank you! You are a better read than any of the books I have read lately.

I'm so sorry about this post. You and your family are prayed for.

I don't know Karen. I smoked a lot of cigars not being able to post/read other blogs.
I'm so glad I'm better than a book!


A. Thanks for prayers.
