Serenity

Serenity
© PurpleMoose (in her own name)

While the world
Outside my four walls
Goes crazily, intensely
Insane

While rockets glare red
And soldiers bleed blue
Leaving family, country,
Faith

While loved ones known
In reality or virtually
Lie in hospital ward
Or convalesce at home

My thoughts of me
Losing out on something
Wanted much but needed less
Go quickly off to the side

I reach out
Take the hand of
My grandchild

Touch the head of
My child

Kiss the cheek of
My spouse

And bless the One
Who gives me so
Much more than
I ever deserved

'night, friends

You have such a way with words, my friend. Beautiful poem. The Universe has blessed you greatly because that's who you are. :)
