Poem

Bill: A Dectina

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

Yesterday’s prompt from Sadje
for Just Jot it January 2024.
Here’s my tardy but heartfelt reply.
☕️  🥯

With
Humble
Gratitude
For my husband
Who, every morning,
Without hesitation,
Brings me my coffee in bed.
Sometimes he’ll bring a warm bagel.
I couldn’t ask for anything more!
With humble gratitude for my husband.

        1. Haha! I’ve spent many nights in my recliner, only to wake up at 2AM with my laptop still in my lap and my husband snoring away like a freight train!
          In all honesty, I was immobile as the result of a TKR and only got up to use the bathroom. I ate all my meals (cooked and delivered by family and friends) in my recliner until I was able to move around.
          Bill’s a pretty swell guy!
