FRIDAY WRITINGS #247 POETS AND STORY TELLERS UNITED





sad little couple
been a tough few years now
battling some serious health issues
alone without friends or family

today is his birthday
looking forward to 
a fun day out for once
rather than
endless doctors appointments
AND BEHOLD
the rains came 
thunder and lightning
the angels staged
an excellent performance
oh well the alternative is
spending  the day in bed
cuddling 
eating birthday cake 
sipping hot chocolate
watching a movie
there are worse ways
to spend a birthday at this age
she said
doesn't get much better
he said beaming

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING

  2. Eating birthday cake and watching a good movie is not the worst way to spend one's birthday!!

  3. YES! I would find that substitution absolutely perfect too. Smiles. In fact, I do, almost daily. LOL.
