evening sea tries reaching
sunset blush in pink
Author: rugby843
I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

Kevin’s Magenta
He barreled through
His strength replete
The enemy bested
He made their defeat.
Soldiers, knights of the realm
Victory found in their helm
The righteous guardians won
Peace will show in morning sun.
Victorious he set another goal
Determined then to return whole
Hiding wounds secreted in his soul
Where battle fatigue took its toll
Always fighting, engaging that role.
Now he wants a peaceful time
Resting his armor by his side
After combat, war and strife
Time to start another life.

Joe answered the door, was distressed
Knew it was because of his guest
His cousin was rude
Caused neighbors dispute
Now the cousin is under arrest

Laughing Along With A Limerick
MLMM Wordle – Wife’s Plea
“Don’t shut me out! Now it seems every day of our relationship as a couple, you try to push me away. You must think I’m not worthy of compassion, but I care for you deeply. How can we get back to where we first fell in love? What is one solitary thing I can do to make you less angry all the time? When we started out, our future together seemed bright, a copy of our parents’ lives, but now you seem unsettled. I fear you might take wing and leave me. What can I do?

No bindings
No heavy blankets
My consciousness
In endless windings
Eyes drooping under pressure
No dream state or comforting prayer
Drapes closed, even darkness
These thoughts cannot harness
I only want to sleep
Sadness wants into creep
I need a change
Bring the light

The internet stopped. It’s been very slow. I looked at the panel, saw switches in rows. I flicked a few that had no lights. They refused to move, were really tight! Well guess I’m done surfing for tonight!
