SECOND TIME AROUND!
(an entry in honor of September 23, Jenny Day, the 50th anniversary of my adoption!)

This is my SECOND TIME AROUND--
I've hit it running, on the ground!!
And, there's happiness all around--
look at the new tricks I have found!

Tricks in the kitchen--don't be scared!
Burned dinners surely should be shared
and fresh potatoes must be pared
by cooks who cook as though they cared!

My life's now flying RIGHT again!
I know this high will end, but when
it does, I'll still shine bright, and then
I'll happily pick up my pen!

My writing is my life, and how!
My world goes 'round this big WOW!
I'm realy loving it, and now
I work and don't throw in the tow'el!
