A rumble comes from deep within
This is the start, it shall begin
A challenge, unknown, will I win?
I brush it off, forgotten
Until the beast does comes alive
I pray, this demon, I’ll survive
But in my body, it does thrive
Its will is born, begotten
A battlefield, my body owns
With each movement, creaks and groans
Surviving, yet these aging bones
Have trouble standing tall
I grab my shield, my mighty sword
Victory shall be my reward
Up to the top, I move toward
I refuse to let me fall

Wonderfully done, Dorinda!! Might this be a bit autobiographical too? I love it even more if it is!! I’m praying hard for you, My Dear!!! Very hard!! And for heavens sake please, please don’t go out of the house. There is a great grocery shopping service we use, it’s ShipT Check them out it’s $49 on special for a yer and you can have them shop for you whenever!

Thank you, Chuck. Yes, this is autobiographical.
The problem here isn’t haven’t someone shop for you. It’s the stores are empty! The shelves are bare. So we’re making do with what we have here..for now.
