blessed beyond words
comment from Eileen gives author hope
blessed beyond words
i draw my arms around me
as my husband can no longer
and thank the beauty and joy
that fills me to overflowing
ready to begin again to try
to capture in written rhythm
and feeling moments of life
with its coercions
and limitless promise
