I Have Been Absent For So Long. Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

I have a simple, but
all too true, poetic song.
Because I have been absent
from one of my favorite poetic
websites for far too long.

I had a simple injury.
It is all too easy to believe.
The Vintage at Holly Village's
library, was offering its
books, magazines, videos,
and DVD's for absolutely free.

The offer was good until March 15,2017.
Brusing my toes! Unable to
either wear slippers or shoes.
Sometimes life isn't fair.

I know because I accidentally
dropped hard back books
on my bare feet.
Being a diabetic means
injuries take longer to heal!
I really did injure my toes.
My accident was for real.

I am grateful to Jesus Christ,
that I have dedicated my poetic
life. Telling other poets
about his merciful grace.

Many tears I did not cry.
Even though my poetic
inspirational well-
did run completely dry.
