OTHER GIFTS OF SUMMER
The gift to come and go
as I please
being the fourth cat
when my previous owner
decided to kick me out
A bedtime story
of Enough
a Pinkola Estés to the rescue
in creative drought
The gift of workflow
excitement restored
stamina and perseverance
exploded and soared
A fragile passenger,
one day alive,
a yellow company
a kind good-bye
The gift of sharing,
learning and laughter
when seventy with three strokes,
living happily ever after
A painter’s workshop and house
a life made of art
when faith was lost
in a poem’s cause
Floral dress, arthritis
and sneakers
Joyful eighty-something
running a business
