Trapped

Dressed in pajamas and no robe
Out the back door she went 
A bag of garbage in her hand
Grandson slammed door with intent

He'll lock Granny out its a  fun game
She turns around; panic
sets in, a child alone; danger
Feelings like the Titanic

Think__ no phone, no key, can't leave,
not dressed, what can be done?
Stand back, put feelings aside
She will not be outdone_

Thieves break in so why can't I
Go walk around the house
Right now one thing for sure can not
totally lean on spouse

Memory uploads a good thought
One window will not lock
It opens wide without a hitch
No longer race the clock 

This was about 16 years ago and I was a lot younger and more agile then but I found something to climb on and got in the window and fell in the house on the floor..I was scratched, bruised and sore but I got in where he was so he was not alone..Then I got to thinking about that broken window and they gave me feelings that were unsettled..We got that fixed though..Sara

Russell Sivey Date: 8/31/2017 6:40:00 PM Hi Sara, this is Emma, Russell's wife, if you don't know already he's in the hospital with broken bones in his back. He fell in the tub (clumsy like me). He's fine, just some pain right now. He's mending and hope to be back to normal is 3 months or so. I don't remember if I had told you all this before, so I hope I'm not repeating myself to you. Sorry if I am. I remember when Abigail liked to lock doors. She never locked us out, but she has locked the door behind us. Luckily we had a key....
