SPIDER
Sorry spider but you cannot stay
Please don’t take offense I pray
I really don’t want to moan
Do understand this is not your home
Even if you promised to behave
Really you are spoiling the peace I crave.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

Your attitude reflects mine Willow…I feel they take far too many liberties around my place…

*laughs* Oh Willow! They aren’t so bad, truly they aren’t, but I do understand how some would rather they stay outdoors 🙂 Enjoyed this 🙂
They scare me Lori, but you can be their advocate!😊
While I like the poem, since it doesn’t suggest killing the poor wee beastie, I regard spiders as my friends. If anyone ever asks me why, I can give many reasons to admire them, and, for that matter, love them, but, the simplest reason for me is, they eat flies, which I DO dislike, as much as I choose to dislike any living creature (we won’t mention humans in this regard; too big a subject for a comment…). Most times, I try to just capture them & put them outside, where they can find more flies to keep out of my house…
*wink* Besides, they’re predators, & we predators have to stick together, right?….

Yes we never kill them!
