To keep me going, what I need
(Aside from kith and kin)
Is time to walk and write and read
Each day, through thick and thin.
Of course, there’s food and drink, I guess,
And music and TV
And crossword puzzles; I confess
They mean a lot to me.
Still, spending hours with those who care
(Up close or on the phone)
Is what supports the way I fare
When I am on my own.
And in that space, I read and walk,
Plus take the needed time
To listen as my brain cells talk
And capture it in rhyme.
