BRIDGE GAME

 BRIDGE GAME

2006 and 2007 were surreal in recovery mode:

 

horrific murderous attack on life took its toll.

 

Initial prognosis of nursing home was negated:

 

loving rehabilitation by self/faith/family sowed.

 

 

But 2008 social isolation amplified loneliness:

 

positive energy from kith/kin renews/heals.

 

I needed complimentary communal group:

 

economics limited basics, nada fun access.

 

 

Prayers answered – gratis Bridge lessons:

 

first offered at nearby Jewish center.

 

Followed OLLI scholarship at main club:

 

game challenging/fun like sweet molasses.

 

 

Bridge can be very competitive or just for fun:

 

medical field touts excellent for mental agility.

 

Preference for me was social stimulation:

 

loved clapping those who aspired `top gun’.

 

 

Past years I have met phenomenal confreres:

 

truly familial in tender respect/joyful repartee.

 

They have touched/enriched me, I have grown:

 

daily one/all/theirs are in constant prayers.

 

 

Mon Ami who saved life offered 20 up for me:

 

not superstitious but 12/16/2025 is rebirth date. 

 

Still so much to write, plus need to finish memoir:

 

thus, game I love, limbo 2024, allowing 2025 free.

 

 

Praying future symbiotic partners will call:

 

those who too enjoy last place, clapping for higher.

 

Celebrating with me joy of communal friendship:

 

treasuring fruitful unions, the highest windfall!
