Reason to Be


Where is my story?

  In kitchen drawers and suitcases, 

    old photos of family and friends

       fragmented memories of years past


What is my story?

   my children and my children’s children

     it is epilepsy and scoliosis

       all wrapped up in living and loving


Where is my story?

   in the thickets of my mind

     softened by heart and soul

       a story still to be written


What is my story?

    it is each day as it passes

       it is health and happiness

         all wrapped up in living and loving.


“The very reason I write is so that 

I might not sleepwalk through my entire life.”

~ Zadie Smith, author
