Moved my parents to be near me, in ¿2014? To be with at least one child, some grandkids, great grand’s & to be watched over until death did us part.
Mom - Dec 2019
Dad - April 2021
It was strangely stressful, as I was prone to “please”
Poetry got me through the thick of things
I’ve been slipping mentally- self assessed- and the poetry gives me a bit of a mental challenge.
My favorite poet, Edgar Albert Guest, aka Americas Poet is my favorite. He wrote with a Dr Seuss rhythm and a Normand Rockwell value system. He has a sweet, naive perspective. With each poem, I try to imagine what he had to tell us, and I often wonder what inspired him, good & bad. Then my effort is to share that sentiment with the listener.
Many of his poems have stirred such great emotion in me, that I had to work through my personal feelings.
I Am ESL, dyslexic, ADHD & swear I didn’t learn to read or write well until after high school. Reading poetry is a Personal challenge
