“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” | Ian Maclaren
I’m so tired
that I can’t even remember what day it is.
Maybe Friday,
or Monday.
I don’t know.
I walk into a local Walgreens
to buy a few items for my wife
who is at home recovering from surgery.
A nice lady shields her child,
giving him a look that pleads:
“Please don’t become a drug head like
that man over there!”
I just need some coffee, ma’am.
And a few hours of sleep.
And for the test results
to come back
saying my wife,
saying my wife,
the love of my life,
is cancer-free.
