    • Very excited and very grateful. My son Michael will be coming back to American soil in about 12 days I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and strength.

    Triumphant Day

    It is very still.
    The house enclosed in a giant whisper
    Of sleep and dreaming.
    The clock,
    Having quite a high opinion of himself,
    Loudly ticks off each second.
    A reminder that I have no time to waste.
    "Hurry, get up,"
    He prods and pokes,
    "The day is starting without you."

    Damn the clock!
    Let the day begin and end!
    I pull the covers over my head,
    Seeking refuge in my blankets.
    But what is that?
    That Heavenly aroma?
    The  smell of coffee tickles my nose,
    Enticing me once again awake,
    I cannot resist.
    A slave,
    I obey.
    The day triumphs once again.
