Tis the Season of Acceptance and Adjustment

Tis’ the season of

acceptances and adjustments

to my body’s needs,

to my adult children’s needs,

to not being needed as much,

to my four dogs’ needs,

to the new political environment,

to the way people react,

to the way I react,

to daily life’s challenges,

to staying present,

to the weather’s unpredictability.

To the uncertainty.

-yes, that one word.

it’s like a heavy weight that

threats to drown me.

but I refuse to allow

this to get me

as I read

for the Floaties

that say…...ACCEPT AND ADJUST

******

I didn't include my husband because he is my partner and is soooo easy going.

    You sound very busy Daphne!

  • I hope that this time of adjustment is going well for you! And I’ve to agree with Gregory, growing old is an adjustment!

    Great Poem, but you forgot one thing. Growing old, that is something we all have to accept also. Well Done!!!!
