I AM

 by Terrie Hanrahan
I orchestrated challenges by knowing talents, believing in people and securing their commitment. By example I lead. Facing difficult situations I adapt, take small steps, be positive and hope.

Reading, writing and small motor are my challenges. I hate blame! I disobey silly rules. Trust and humor are my vocabulary! I’m Terrie, Mom, Gram!

Dialogue 
Jim.  “Did you gain weight?”
Ter.  “What does it look like?”
Jim “ Well I  can’t tell exactly because your clothes are so loose.”
Ter   “ That’s very true. My clothes are loose because I’m in a lot of pain and I don’t feel like eating!”
Jim   “What? The doctors won’t help you?”
Ter.  “Well they gave me narcotics which are not helping and they won’t increase the dose. That’s downright cruel! I’m so frustrated that I’m going to sue those doctors!
Jim.  “I’m not so sure that’s a wise idea.It will take time plus you have to prove they mismanaged the situation and made a mistake.
Ter.  “Enough! I know a friend of a friend who can get me stronger drugs on the street!
Jim.  “You’re crazy?  DLove Poem
And I Have You
Rain has drops
Sun has shine
Moon has beams
That make you mine
Rivers have banks
Sands have shores
Hearts have heartbeats
That makes me yours
Needles have eyes 
Though pins may prick
Elmer has glue
To make things stick
Winter has Spring 
Stockings feet
Pepper has mint
To make it sweet 
Teachers have lessons
Soup du jour
Lawyers sue bad folks
Doctors cure
All and all
This much is true
You have me
And I have you

By Nikki GiovanniMy comments about “And I Have You”

Simple
             Pure
                     True!
We hug morning and evening. Glad to be together!
To me the poem says…
“ Be yourself, be you!”
I am loved for being me. You are loved for being you.
Be free to be you. Be free to be me.
Each stanza builds; starting with what flows, to what surrounds, to what works, to who does…to create a nurtured relationship that grows!
Thus it’s us…
“This much is true
You have me 
And I have you!” on’t do that!
Ter.  “I know you’re trying to help but we’re done here!!!
