The (not so) Secret Life of a Cat Lady

Stepping in


Stepping up and coming down
Life throws punches round by round
Wandering thoughts lay awake at night
Times to come are worth the fight

Cautiously, we rise to stand before this
Rolls reversed, now in his stead
We do not know from depth to summit
Nor breadth of stormy seas ahead

Heroic, silent, valiant warrior
Father, brother, someone’s son
Grateful for our time together
We will fight until this battle is won.
