 MANNA

Both veteran son and I have experienced severe trauma:

 

he military conflict, and I suffered murderous assault.

 

We have both been blessed with phenomenal kith/kin:

 

most recently two dogs spiritual nourishment within.

 

 

Like little ones before holidays, we placed our petitions:

 

emotional support canines needed to help overcome.

 

Our beloved Paco passed February to Rainbow Bridge:

 

joined Penny/Oscar/Fawn/Cinder… over heavenly ridge.

 

 

Manna are miracles of life blessing me since birth:

 

family, neighbors, friends have enriched my life.

 

Teachers/mentors in vivo/vicarious inspired progress:

 

books/movies/news/artists – all universal kith/kin bless.

 

 

I give witness to life’s phenomenal synchronicity: 

 

analogous orchestra’s conductor inspiring arrangement.

 

Arraying one musician with another or all together:

 

Before I formed you in the womb…, ala divine bellwether.

 

 

This poem is sharing just one melodious connection:

 

canine Penny had to leave daughter’s friend Lupita.

 

We were asked to help while another home was sought:

 

instead, became emotional support animal who taught.

 

 

Until her, never understood their unconditional love:

 

she was my therapy that progressed traumatic self.

 

But she got out one day through opening in gate:

 

found by teenage Claire/Casey – entwined fate.

 

 

They/families adopted/succored me through years:

 

 both graduated/married – he doctor vet/she ecologist.

 

Took care of Penny, then Paco found homeless years later:

 

then were consolers when each traversed to deific creator.

 

The word went out that son and I were bereft:

 

within month, Casey’s mom Debbie answered plea.

 

Abused Bedlington Terrier Monty needed new place:

 

he was very protective would transfer love to my face.

 

 

Then another daughter’s friend Nadia had one to many:

 

Staffordshire Nola famous for courage and protection. 

 

Both adopted within week of one another bonded instantly:

 

convinced matches made in heaven to aid our vulnerability.

 

 

So, as always, my constant prayers exponentially said:

 

grateful to God: life, kith/kin, country, nature, and pets.

 

Shout-out to those who `answer spiritual call’ to care:

 

Luminaries with open giving hearts bear fruit and share.
