and coffee appears
after all the stages
my task to show up
and coffee appears
after all the stages
my task to show up
oh hello wide world
strangers open to laughter
readily bonding
thinking of you
marvel and gratitude
love-pumped arteries
scattered family
linked through photos
each fills in the dots
warm welcome
home embrace
flood of connections
her shy smile
eyes open like daffodils
three years on Earth
beloved teacher
inspiration in his smile
my power re-charged
those final sips
whole body response
and then a sigh
with each step
relief and gratitude
still alive!
am i brave enough
to shuck fears and deal with things
it starts with coffee
