Years of My Life

A Journey from 1944 to … Now

2006–2007 School Year
Home

Now I’d left teaching—once again.
Was home instead, where I had been.

Too much had happened—could not deal—
Just could not handle what I’d feel.

Mortality is what I felt—
I cursed the cards that I’d been dealt.

So I stayed home to read and write
And be with Joyce—yes, day and night.

But nibbling at my mind—a lot?
The notion that I long had taught—

And (how on earth do I begin?)
I wanted to go teach—again!
