[many thanks]

Nearly 20 years later…

Three weeks ago
     Tuesday 
February 20th 
     I marked the day 
with a truth
 
“I am as old today 
   as she ever was 
     or ever would be”

And the next day 
     Wednesday
February 21st
     near 3 weeks now 
in the past 

“I am older now, 
   today, 
     than she ever was 
       or could ever be” 

       Hope 
           and 
       possibility 
           lie before me
