True confession time: I am cheating. I wrote this several days ago but since it has been so busy at work I don't have time to write anything new, so here goes:
A Gift
Sometimes a word eludes me
Sometimes I need a little help
If it’s a name I go through the alphabet
A?
No, not a vowel
B?
Barbara?
Becky?
Briana?
No, none of those
C?
No
D?
Daisy?
Dotty Debbie Danielle?
That’s it! Danielle!
If it’s an object
I need to see it first
Make a picture in my mind of the thing
This big rectangular white thing
With a door
In the kitchen
It’s a freezer!
Point for me!
It takes time
It’s tedious and it slows me down
But maybe that’s a good thing
Maybe slowing down is what I need
And so I can be thankful
For this gift.
