WEEPING WILLOWS

exercise mind and body

Such a fine day to lift my spirits

ti’s springtime and there is a faint scent

of perfume in the refreshing breeze

I am inside a stunning green park

with old wooden fences around it

where one can meander on different paths

I choose a path marked red on a tree trunk

with Weeping Willow trees bordering it

and try to move at an adequate speed

therefore, my baby and I secure plenty of physical exertion

the doctor reveals that this is healthy for both of us

 

Whilst I walk, my mind wanders to my future incessantly

a mix of hopefuls and apprehension

I trust all expectant mothers carry some unease

about motherhood and what to foresee

the disquiet, as you know, regards raising

a child alone

this does not contradict my competence

I prefer that my baby shall have a father who loves him as much as I do

perchance I shall be fortuitous to encounter a fine

gentleman who has no covert timeline

it would be lovely to meet someone who would fill those shoes

regrettably, my soldier still with amnesia at hospital

I offer a prayer each day this onset shall resolve

I have the notion they will not keep him  at greater length

thus, t is potentially ruinous for me

 

Enough  petulance for now!

At once I glance at my watch  and to my dismay

it is well past lunch time

in a lovely wooded setting ,attempting to be fit

it is no wonder I lost track of time

I must admit the walking works miracles in musing

about life

I am not terribly hungry at this moment

yet I must consider my baby’s needs

I am now back in the park area where I shall find a café

and hopefully dine on healthy food

dear Betty... perhaps a predawn sip of Natures dew will give you and your baby a morning filled with reverence to carry you both to an entrance of solitude for every Mood. gently, Pat

hmm. not a bad place to unwind, relax and do some thinking. the physical and spiritual. i love willow trees - growing up, we had a big one in the middle of our yard like a giant umbrella. she's doing everything for two now, maybe three! the saga continues ...

Betty, it sounds like a very good place to wander around The weeping Willow trees and get your self lost in time
The beauty, and fresh air should do well for you and your child
I do hope that you will find a suitable person to love and care fro you and your child.
