Notes About The Poem

Just felt the need to get back and tell evryone why I'm not writing for awhile.

My sight is deteriorating and can hardly see to read or write.

I navigate just fine but have trouble see words.

The computer gives me a real headache.

I need surgry on both eyes.

They will do one eye at a time so I won't have a bandage over both eyes at the same time.Just cataracts one one eye but a corneal transplant in the othert.

Please keep me in your prayers that it goes well and is a success.

Merry Christmas evryone.

Love,

     JB

Merry Christmas Everybody

Just want to wish you Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year.
Haven't been on line much,
'Cause I can't see too clear.

I get these awful headaches,
Whene'er I try to read.
It seems I must have surgery,
So my eye sight can be freed,

From these awful cataracts,
That my pleasures do impede,
Of reading and of writing,
And I miss you all, indeed.

They say it will be Spring time;
March or February,
When I will get my surgery,
So I find sanctuary,

In busying my little self,
With other things about.
I still go to work and walk my dogs,
I try hard not to pout.

I miss my writing and the poems,
Of those I've met on site.
But once I\ve had my surgery,
Then things will be alright.

Till then my friends remember,
I miss you one and all.
I miss the fun, comradarie,
Feel the tug of my muse's call.

So Merry Christmas to you,
And a Happy New Year too.
Can't wait till I can read again,
And be back here with you.
