I’ve been waiting and waiting
For the pink cherry blossom tree
To bloom for me
All the other blossom trees
Are a floral delight
Then just overnight
My blossom tree bloomed
Pretty pink flowers have at last loomed
late I know
But they’re beginning to show
What a beautiful sight
My cherry blossom delight!

The pain in my neck
The fatigue
I need a break

I keep on going
Never slowing
I keep it flowing

I need to slow
But I don’t know how
I go and I go

I sweat
From all the chocolate I ate
Another symptom I bet

I can’t sleep
My cough gets me up
When I sleep deep

I want to retire and write
Even in the middle of the night
It would be a sheer delight!!!!!!

The morning light after the dark long night
And the fresh morning air blowing in my hair
Is a beautiful feeling
The pleasure I’m stealing
Up with the lark
And down to the park
Birds singing their hearts out
Such beauty without a doubt
A good start to the day
Better weather on its way
As the sun shines down on me
It’s beautiful to see
The flowers coming out
nature so devout
It’s another beautiful day
And it’s now nearly May!

When I am gone from this world
Remember me as a poet
I know I’ll be whirled
Into space as we know it!

Please don’t be sad
I’ve enjoyed the life that I’ve had!

If there comes a time
that you might lose me
Find me in my poetry

People have died and are still dying
Of covid we're crying
But people are still dying of cancer
well there is no answer
It’s sad but true
No matter what we do
We’re not immortal
Sadly eventually we all have to go to the portal!
The portal of mortality!
