Kade saves a life.

Doing volunteer time at MTA (Kade's School 4th grade) In the cafeteria, walking around, keeping an eye on all the kids. A kid stops me and says, "that boy is awsome"..."What?" say I. "That kid, he saved my life. I was coughing and coughing....and he did that hymlock thing. You know." "You mean, this kid I said pointing to the boy across from him" I said. "No, I mean Kade. He's awsome, he saved my life." Well this boy was about two heads taller than Kade and maybe 20 or 30 pounds heavier. Kade is a small boy, the size my kids were when they were little, short and thin. I did a double take. The employee paid to keep order in the cafeteria, Mona is her name told me that Ann the nurse had told her about it a couple of months ago. Amazing.

The Importance of Cheese

I love cheese, especially,


when


it does not


make me wheeze


Not to boast,


but on toast,


when spread


on top of crispy bread


Oh! the love


of Cheese Whiz


goes straight up


to my head


A Philly Cheese Steak


is not just another


"sam"


filled with beef


and cheese,


topped


with onions


for the glam,


Yum!


It trembles


in my hand

It's Just Me

I can be a little old lady
People smile, open a door
give me a seat on the bus

But sometimes
In my mind
I'm young, vibrant

Dancing in the sand again
Waves rush through my toes
But alas it's just me being me

In the end, it's just me.
