Two sticks of butter go into making a pie crust

Not the best food for seniors but it’s nice to have a pie

For afternoon tea- a warm bite for you and me.

Everyday I strive to stay steady ….

Current events (often hard on older people)

Have tipped into a whole new level…

I feel worried like I might be catching something

or trying to catch a hold of something- before

Falling -muttering- “I don’t get it.”

Our generation has had a romance with America

The Beautiful – from Sea to Shining Sea..

The bravery of our civil rights heros

And the Kennedy’s ( so thrilling)

The end of the Vietnam War( protest lead)

Nixon impeached

And President Obama elected.

I’ve been a part of something we were making-

But now

I must trust ( as in God) in a bigger brush

Zen Master ink stroke, my part matters

Invisible me – inviting you- in for tea

And pie- apple.
