Okay I am four days behind but hey life has been very busy here!!
Jane Dougherty has come up with a theme for May . It is 42, now Jane discribes it thus: “42 after Douglas Adams’ answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. The form is like the Cherita in its structure with a bit of added interest. The first line/stanza asks a question or makes a statement that begs a question, the second stanza/two lines sets the scene or the background, the last stanza/three lines answers the question or resolves it in some way.”
Why sit up all night
Putting wrongs to right
Fighting the good fight.
Because we feel the need
To sow the correct seeds
While the world just bleeds.

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.

Great take sis!
Thank you Sis 💜💜

And you made it rhyme! Thanks for taking up the challenge 🙂
I hope I got it right, I would of joined in earlier if it had not been so manic 😊💜
You went above and beyond the call of duty again. You must have a real urge to rhyme because I’ve noticed you often make rhymes where there’s no obligation. Most people hate having to make poems rhyme. You love it!
I do indeed live to rhyme I should try occasionally not too but the urge is there??!! 💜
I know what you mean 🙂 When you hear it in your head, that’s the way you have to write it.
Yes , what a saddo I am 😊😊🏖️
Er I do it too…
In that case Great Minds think alike 😊

Why indeed.
Not fair is it 💜
