My Lament

I feel my life decaying, the end is not that far; I treasure moments- a bird song, raindrops, my soft cat, my friends, family, I love snow falling in the woods; my adieu but a soft word, a whisper drifting. _____________________________ September 2, 2019 Poetry/Yalto/Verse/My Lament Copyright Protected, ID 19-1177-768-02 All Rights Reserved.

Arturo, I have lots of health problems and doubt I will live to be an old lady, when the end comes, and who knows when I am ready. I have learned in my life I do not need big things .. I need simple things like a soft cat.. thanks for visiting ~
