Rachel is a big girl now, I said,
so take the blankets off her head
and let her open up her eyes
to get a glimpse of winter’s skies.
I never knew a face so wee could
show such joy and ecstasy.
As that shown in her blue eyes.
The first time Rachel saw the skies.
She gazed as a if she could not cease
at sunset clouds and tops of trees.
All the glory of the skies
was mirrored there in Rachel’s eyes.
I knew that God was still above
because his hope and peace and love
were all reflected in her eyes.
The first time Rachel saw skies.

Our Song
Evening has given way to night. Gently, I settle next to you on the comfortable, old love seat and reach for your hand. You snatch it away, again. It cuts me to the quick, but I hide the pain, understanding that the reaction is but part of your demented state. Since the accident, your presence here in our cozy home has been clouded by a haze I can't see. Nevertheless, I feel the frigidity of your expressions and it serves as an excruciating reminder of the immeasurable distance between us.

Learn to Be Alone...
We often find that people are told to stop making 'X, Y and Z' their personality. Well, this only arose in the social media age as especially women's interests: reading, dramas, art etc. was heavily criticised as being 'useless'. It is historically well-documented that though many men require the work of women, whether it be through unpaid labour or entertainment, they also refuse to acknowledge it is important. This is why since it has been something of recognition, they have been complaining of a 'loneliness epidemic' now that women are withholding access.
