WINTER WEATHER
Today is chilly and drizzly,
Breezy and blue,
But I'm still above ground.
Now how about you?
My hands are now stiff
But I still hold a hook.
I'm blessed that I still
Turn pages of a book.
I'm often off-balanced
When I stand or step.
But I still get by
With almost no help.
Wish my hair would decide
If it's gray or it's brown.
It really won't matter
When I wear a crown.
Yes, I'm still above ground
Though my body will fail.
No matter the weather,
One day I'll be well.
By Netagene, off and on between 9:40am December 16, and 1am December 17, 2019. The very last line refers to the poem I wrote on November 14, 2018 (and posted here) which 2 friends turned into a song: "I Will be Well". The hook I mention in verse 2 is a crochet hook, a hobby which I do almost every day. My paternal grandmother taught me to crochet when I was about 7 years old.
About Me
- Netagene
- I am a member of the church of Christ. I have been writing things since I was little. Some have been printed, some posted. I write to teach or encourage; to blow off steam; and for fun! I had my own motorcycle in my 40s; I was a bluegrass music DJ for about 13 years; I've performed some. I am a member of the NRA. In 2003 (age 59), I became high partial legally blind; in 2005, I had to get hearing aids! Franklin Field said: "Poor eyes limit your sight; poor vision limits your deeds". And no kidding, the picture was made April, 2012!
