This was 5 years ago and I weighed 100 lbs more!
Candle
It’s Birthday month: I’m 74!
The short wicked candle burns.
Between Nor’ Easters,wind and snow
My family comes, adjourns.
The elders bring their rattled bones
And ticklish touching smiles
They know a moment’s all we’ve got
Embrace and touch awhile.
