Reflection In August

Recently I was in the hospital
with a life threatening illness
I was glad to get out of there 
So I went to my computer last night
and sent an article out 
to the collectibles journal I write for 
Then I entered an Israeli poetry contest
Back "on track" as they say 
Poetry won't pay the bills 
yet it is very important 
to that "nation within a nation"
the readers and writers of verse
and for all of you out there who 
are collecting something 
I send you my fondest wishes as well

I don't really understand what happened to you but I am glad you are on recovery's road. May we both get through the years to come without much hardship. STrange conditions popping up out of nowhere after age 60!! Take care, Matt.
