Bad Memory Updated: Haiku

I spent years like this:/

Edge of bed. Curled up. But not/

with her. This hurts worse.

Different Angst Fear: Haiku

Before, I had angst/
to reach out my hand. Now, I/
fear op’ning my mouth.

Get ignored often./

Learn you’re not important. Then/

maybe you’ll shut up.

As I age, I learn: /
Folks wont drop everything to/
hear my opinion.

My inside hero/
died until I showed him my/

new revolution.

When you care what folks/
think, one dumb Facebook post can/
ruin your whole day.

When you at last learn/
your life has meaning, then you/
want to get busy.

Don’t berate yourself/
for chances missed. Promise to/
do better next time.

Faith and trust. Trust and/
faith. It’s the not knowing that/
makes it hard to wait.

We went to His House./
Your name was remembered. We/
witnessed heart-felt prayer.
