Sleep that's not restless
Feeling my toes
Food that's not tasteless
Hairs in my nose
Itching's relentless
But nausea slows
These are the lessons of May
Blogger betrayed me
Erased all my friends
Re-connecting's not easy
Yet still I depend
on being tenacious
in ways that don't bend
These are the lessons of May
Finding a balance
Between then and now
Knowing my energy
Isn't a plow
Ceaselessly trenching
Row upon row
These are the lessons of May
Partner, son, family
People who care
Words of encouragement
People who dare
To be in these moments with me
Life laid bare
These are the lessons of May
Finding a balance
Between then and now
Knowing my energy
Isn't a plow
Ceaselessly trenching
Row upon row
These are the lessons of May
Partner, son, family
People who care
Words of encouragement
People who dare
To be in these moments with me
Life laid bare
These are the lessons of May
