A Lifetime

April 16, 2022

Everything I do, I do for you, Day in; day out, I wake up each day and think of you. How I long to hear your sweet, sweet voice, Yet here I am, alone with my thoughts, I close my eyes and drift away once more, As time goes by I awaken from my slumber, I feel your presence as I open my eyes, Finally, my day begins, With you at my side, All is right with the world, Me loving you, You loving me, Together, as time slips away, Nothing in this world can come between us, We are one, We are love, Absorbed in each other's souls, One entity, one life, one lifetime.

I'm 62 years old, I am married, I am an artist, I do abstract paintings and sell them locally and on Etsy in Terrance Gallery. I have had 23 major surgeries on my legs, recently Nov 9, Jan 11 and the next one in April. So I have a full leg cast from Nov 9 thru June 28 so I wrote a children's book which has been published and released to the public March 13, 2021. Also I kind of got interested in writing free verse poetry and I have written five so far. I love my cats and my 14 yr old grandson. I'm married to the absolute best wife ever! One of my tattoos is on my forearm, it's from a free verse poem by Walt Whitman called "Song of the Open Road" it's 15 pages long but well worth reading. My tattoo says "all seems beautiful to me" and there's a Chinese symbol for beauty at the end. Walt Whitman is known as the father of free verse poetry. I actually wrote a free verse poem about myself, which I really like.
