This week has been terrible
Wonderful and tragic
Death took my dear friend's hand
Lead him to the magic

From Sunday to Saturday
Grieving laughing weeping
Life in a tie dye fog
Something like walk-sleeping

I gave my sweet girl a ride
Still a lot of hazy
There by the road for sale
Respite for the lazy

How much for your hammock, Dear?
Two bucks oughtta do it
Eight quarters it was mine
Home before I knew it

Now the laundry's almost done
So am I, so am I
Clothes line and hanging bed
All of us shall sun dry

And so, Cat, life goes on - and all of us shall sun dry.

This is a sweet lullaby. A soothing tonic to settle the sadness.

That sounds a perfect way to slow down. It's been a bumpy week!

Loved this little poem which describes big and little events in a week. Rest now, you deserve it.

The poem is a story intact. But the first two lines preface life - I will not forget these two lines.

I'm placing my money on the last stanza. It's a winner, Cat!

Your loss is well written into these lines. Relax in your new found treasure and remember the good times with your friend!
