(seq. 42)

and pray every day, and this
the day when I'm peeling
potatoes, or washing the dishes
sometimes sweeping the floor,
I'm sort of talking, or praying
to God. Maybe sounds crazy
but if so, it's being "nuts"
in a comforting sort of way.
I have so much to be thankful
for, having you for a friend,
why even being allowed
to call you my family. For
a very warm place to live
not having to go out these
terrible cold days or nights
for having people so kind,
so thoughtful in so many
ways. When he has any extra
money he brings home ice cream
likeyou used to. Remember?
