Winning the Numbers Game Today

Flowing into healthy sun
Beams subtle on my face
Mama’s ills are often none.

Hands peek in a good grace
Obviously I am still needed
Battle won, continue earthly race

Healthy cuticle glow completed
Hands sparkle, vibrancy attack
Fears and woes superseded

My aches and pains are pushed way back
Sitting on my porch, completely alive
Wondering at the clutter and clack

Numbers game, six. Seven. Five.
Two X’s, 6’s, and 9 lives won.
Like a giant cat, Vitamin D keeps me alive

I marvel at my pretty skin
Amazed at the great shape she’s now back in

I yearn for it, and thrive on it.

I was optimistic for an hour or so. Pain medicine does not agree with me.

I hope this is not a dream and that you are truly on the mend!

This was my feeling yesterday as I sat in the sun happily staring at my skin which was starting to turn color again.
