does anyone remember
the last day of the year
paralyzed in my bed
without will to move
a day of Sea World planned
yet laying in tears?

hope I know

just two days later
my life changed
scarf orders came in
I could move
shower
breathe

hope I see

there’s only one hope
to know and to see
but there’s a difference
in the days
minus one

I KNEW the scarfs
were life-saving
meaning able to live
without borrow or beg
but until I SAW
I only knew

a mirror of reflection
is known or seen
and hope never changes
just I do
