Ramblings of a Northern Girl — PD in Poetry 2024 — Week 18–24

Choose Love

“A man who can catch a fly with a chopstick can accomplish anything”

Sometimes life throws you an arduous challenge,

A puzzle of the inexplicable kind.

I watch quietly from the determined side-lines,

My unwavering heart noisily cheering you on.

All that you are, all that you courageously represent

Palpable, striking, yet humble and hushed

In your remarkable, resilient way.

24 years since we said a devoted hello,

I lovingly watch you catching flies with chopsticks.
