Brilliance through the blinds.



Seventh day.

At my daughter's place
Serious foot infection
Diabetes related.
In hospital told
Could have lost Part
Of the limb.
Sheesh.
Also callous issues.
Had to be scraped.

Now rested on
This sunny Monday
In Listowel.
Spring happening
In the air
In the bird songs
In the husky dog's
Backyard sporting.
In this fellow's
Healing heart
And frame.
