(2014)
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
