Every day is precious
Time being of the essence
Seventy-seven years.
Leaves away from home
Herbs of self-preservation
Wholly necessary
Keeping a flower away from his family
Is naughty by nature
Blooming months, absolute torture
What’s the purpose for the delay?
A peddles best years serves purpose
Relapse stems charged herewith
Convicted by household soil
Solitary fluorescence, a life from view
More challenging for Mrs. Mallow, totally lost without you
Offspring’s miss the cookouts
The yellow pollen, bee’s entrepreneurial sell-outs
Seventy-years a symbol of life that can’t be denied
No cracks, still a young flower
Time to go home and recoup during this precious time
Life is too short, as we go up in age
Everyday matters and life is no more than privileged
My ode to you in this life therein
SHARA LEWIS-CAMPBELL , this is so very beautiful.
You’re too kind! Thank you Larry.
Thank you for your awesome sentiments. I know Mark Kageyama very well. And enjoy his YouTube channel and remarkable journey. #atruesurvior Thanks for sharing!
Hello Shara .. a truly lovely poem. (I read several times)
I especially loved ..
“Solitary fluorescence, a life from view”
I have nothing to add to the beauty of “Mr. Mallow” .. so I’ll just share
“Time” surfaced in recent days .. I met Mark who shared with me:
“Time is the most important thing”
– Mark Kageyama (a stage 4 cancer patient, with prostate, bone, and lung cancer)
“Cancer helped to cure my blindness”

I added Marks wonderful encouragements to my post-poem “Time Decides” (in which I share with the reading of “Time” – by Julius Sevilla)

Time that was WASTED .. is time misspent
Will regret & tears help us repent?
LOVE & Grace we don’t want to lose
But should we ignore or fail to choose
.. Time decides ..
“In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
In our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity,
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
Unrevealed until its season,
Something God alone can see.”
– Hymn of promise
