grateful to be informed
comment from Eileen gives author hope
not that long ago
there was no telecommunication
mail was days or weeks or years
between send and receive
anxious moments stretched into
months without knowing
this morning’s text message
eased my heart with news
my grandson is back in this country
having lost weight but standing
on his own two feet
i am grateful to be so informed
mumble mutter
An original poem by MaryJane Nordgren
ranting and swearing are not my thing
although i can mumble with the best of them
under my breath
perhaps it is healthier than turning myself inside-out
with sadness over something i cannot control or even change
drat it all!
