Keep smiling darling
though bereft of two finger tips
per hand today;
and toes!
Haven’t yet been given
the count. Keep smiling darling.
These past months so difficult
and still you keep smiling.
‘Tis your nature and always was.
The nature of an optimist.

This Quadrille #91 “Keep” is for my daughter who has been so brave and it was heartbreaking waiting to see how much would be amputated. Feet still heavily bandaged but last evening when visited she was in very good spirits. She’s so special and the true optimist. I delivered her myself when she was born; but hey that’s a whole other story.

So hard. You’ve had a tough time, the pair of you. I’m sure she’s strong enough to get through this difficult time. It’s a lovely poem, tough, positive, stoical.
