Way Back Then

A short story in Haiku style
My first memory.
Jan C. Smuts Home for Children
In Burnham-on-Sea.

Breakfast with some kids.
Walking to the beach lighthouse.
Breathing damp sea air.

Big people took me
to live with as family.
I had siblings now.

We had dogs and cats
And we had a garden too.
I was happy there.

Then I had an urge
The wide world called me to leave
Look where it brought me.

I found new friendships
Bloggers using words galore.
Thank you one and all.

Lemme see. What shall I get up to today?

This morning, before I can get up to anything (worthwhile that is) I have to keep an appointment with my counselor at the Work Force Center.

Well, my meeting went well and I now have a plan in place to help get me back to work.

so I waited for my Metro Mobility bus (I don’t see well enough to drive my car) which incidentally showed up on time. I came home and was greeted by Mr. McCafferty. Mr. McCafferty I got Mr. McCafferty from an animal shelter soon after my discharge from hospital. I think he was raised with a dog because he acts just like a dog. Always he comes to greet me whenever I arrive at home.
So today I cut the grass and trimmed all the edges, that is until my twine ran out. OH well, there’s always tomorrow.
