Special #1 Poetic Asides Challenge Nov 5

 Mom and Dad

 

November 5th, 2021

would have been my parents 73rd anniversary.

As it was, they made it to their 50th.

 

Thank You, Lord,

that Dad survived WWII

and that Mom’s family moved

from Johnstown, PA to New Florence,

where Mom and Dad met and married

and raised my four sisters and me.

 

Thank You that they encouraged us

to follow our own paths

and though we live in Ohio, Nebraska,

Colorado and California

we still get together.

 

Thank You that I have plans

to meet two of them in California

in about a week.

 

Thank You for Your Holy Spirit

who lives right inside of me

wherever I go.

I put my trust in You.
