Procrastination is the root of all procrastination…

The poem here is a rewrite of a very old poem of mine, I’d like to thank Calen of,
calensariel for her support and encouragement to present this piece of mine, which I thought was just a poem of jumbled emotions. Oh, and the answer to all of my procrastinating way back then, I decided to keep her at home, and we lived happily ever after. I didn’t listen to the advice of others, and in the end it was the best decision of my life, for me and for her …xx There’s a song to go with it, which coincidently came out after I wrote my poem….. Attached below. The above featured picture was taken years after I had happily decided to keep her at home for the rest of her life……(She passed 9 months after this beautiful picture was taken, with her glorious “everlasting smile”. https://ivors20.wordpress.com/2017/07/27/everlasting-smile/
What Can I Do
What am I expected to do
When is so much, too much to do
Why am I so scared, what can I do
What is the future, for me and for you
How will I say, I’m too tired for you
When is the day, to tell you
Will I hurt too much, to be without you
How will I know, when the time’s due
Why is it so, what can I do
Where is the place, I’m putting you
Why am I frightened, no, no, not easy to do
When I finally have to, and don’t want to
Who am I, to have this over you
What is the answer, for me and for you
Now or never, could that be true
How by myself, I’ll never be able to
