We’ve been tanning ourselves for eons & years-

Trying to look darker, through burning & tears!

We permed  our hair – we wanted it curly-

Their hair was always a lil’ twirly!

Then rap music we did readily adopt-

It was so awesome we didn’t want it to stop!

Hoop earrings we were soon to ourselves adorn-

The N.G. magazine showed us how they were worn!

Tattoos on our bodies & rings in our nose-

Copying the others is now something we chose!

We’ve expanded our bust line beyond recollection-

To look like the women of darker complexion!

We’ve lowered our pants down below our hips-

And inflated & very much pumped up our lips!

Now we’re enlarging our fannies to round & plump-

Apparently the bigger the better is to be our rump!

We’ve copied, imitated, duplicated & cajoled-

That is the best compliment – if it was just to be told!!

 

 

 

 

 

What Should I do?

My heart is breaking a little each day-

What should I do, what should I say?

This Alzheimers disease does not just belong to you-

I’m in there with you in all that we do.

Fighting for your life with each new task-

Each task that is slipping away from you so fast.

I don’t know why you argue with me-

I’m just trying to please you – but that is not what you see!

Trying to do what is right & best for you-

But you challenge me & the doctor too!

I love you but I don’t want to admit that I care-

It just hurts all the more- sometimes more than I can bare.

What should I do – I’m probably not myself-

Trying to be strong, putting my feelings on the shelf.

I can’t imagine what life is like for you-

Finding it hard to comprehend all that we do.

Help us Lord, please send us your strength-

We desperately need you each day – length by length.

We are now 12 years into this journey-

I don’t know why I haven’t ended up on a gurney?

I’ve had all the symptoms related to stress-

But I’ve not ended up wearing a hospital dress!

I’ve had heart problems, bronchitis- nothing to sneeze at-

And also have developed a major asthma attack!

I’ve had cold sores, hives, colitis & shingles too-

All stress related – I’m living in a crazy zoo!

Now I can’t see a thing – I have created a stye-

It’s puffy, I see double – right on my left eye!

No, no, Lord , please no more stress tests for me-

Haven’t I fulfilled my quota – my case I do plea!!

 

 

 

 

 

Birds Flying High

A vulture- a beautiful creature – no it’s not-

What do you think – I’m smoking pot?

They truly are awesome & graceful while soaring-

Gliding on the air waves no they are’t boring!

The seem to like flying alone, sometimes in a flock-

They are surveying the landscape- inspecting the dock?

They glide past our condo spying on our porch-

Wonder who lives there- are those snacks or a torch?

The breezier the better – how they play with the wind-

Never held back only to each other do they tend.

Not as high as the airplanes – but barely above the earth-

They are the masters of the sky- clearly their own turf!

Early in the morning they play in the sky-

And with the setting sun do they obediently fly!

They settle down in the trees, all comfy in their space-

Til’ dawn arrives, then again in the sky,  take their place!

 

 

My Feeble Adjustment

I don’t mind helping when there is a need-

It’s when changes come in multiples I don’t succeed.

One after another these changes occur-

SOO fast they come – all is a blur.

But I loose patience & I’m not nice-

When so any urgent needs come thrice!!

I help, yes, I do, but I don’t like it one bit-

What more can I handle- I’m falling into a pit!!

You have changed & I have to adjust-

I don’t have a chance to think – I do what I must.

Yes, I get used to your changing ways-

I calm down as we go through phase after phase.

It’s only the Lord that gets me through the day-

So you & I can be together & stay.
