Hello, blog friends ~
These last couple of months have been a blur for me with multiple family concerns. I've sure you've been in my shoes at one point or another. It's the ebb and flow of life -- we all experience it, don't we?
Today I'm doing a bit of catch up. Lovely Yvette offered a prompt last week for Tanka Tuesday that filled my heart immediately. She asked that we create a poem that focuses on "the idea of sisterly love or sisterhood." I've three beautiful sisters, but my first thought was my mom and her identical twin.
Lauretta and Luella would be 100 years old in September. They left behind a legacy of love, sacrifice, and generosity. I never heard either of them say something unkind or unforgiving. And each of them always turned to prayer for all the many problems in their life. Truly, they are both saints.
With much gratitude to them both, I offer a belated poem:

This week, Dan Antion invites images of "something that took you higher." I choose the stairs in Marvel Cave (which is near Branson, Missouri, where I used to live). If you're an adventurous type and you're in the area, this is one not to miss.
When I was a kid, my dad sometimes took us into the mountains where we explored caves. I've several stories and wild findings. I suspect that's the reason, I enjoy checking out these dark spaces. Below the surface, there's incredible beauty. My simple poem...
