By eight I was a `mini’ mom/gofer to disabled mother.
Life was joyous with multi siblings and doting father.

Strife known at early age, precocious empathy tuned high.
Reading cultivated kaleidoscope persona catcher in the rye.

Eagerness for in vivo experiences boldly went forth.
Inner soul compass always seeking pure clear north.

Mistakes and sins, off course, part and parcel of progress.
Admitting to myself wrongdoings, mea culpa alleviate stress.

Self-centered ambition ruled salad years.
Result of which culminated most tears.

Motherhood, multi faceted career made decades race.
Like It’s A Wonderful Life, I’ve left a legacy trace.

Life seriously threatened in mid-sixties: almost over.
Revivified life joyously sings White Cliffs of Dover.

Grateful septuagenarian’s prayer to Most High.
May I please you more until the sweet by and by.
