A week in the future
I was asked to write a poem as a conversation with myself 1 week in the future
REVISED -A conversation with myself one week in the future.
But, hark, what is that clay
upon your shoe?
It is the clay of the graveyard
where my love has ventured.
Which loved one? Tell me
While I tremble with fear
that my life is possibly ending?
It is my beloved teddy bear.
These past fifty years
have had their toll
and now has come the time
to say good by and bury
my heart and soul.
When I was a child so lonely.
he gave me so much love.
Now I am not on my own
and have loved ones who come
when I search for help.
Those miracles of birth
who have grown from
babies to become the friends
I needed when I was so young
