Compartmentalized
I carry laughter in my invisible back pocket
Beside silliness, and some humorous antics
I carry wisdom perched on a shelf in my soul
Beside sorrow, courage, and experience
I carry love in my big old heart, squished beside
Memories, joy, and compassion,
I carry guilt, abuse, anger, and illness
Layered in pound after pound upon my body
I carry hope and faith together, snuggled in my soul
With creativity, generosity, and Gratitude
In my conscious mind I carry dreams
Floating with reverence, visions of peace
Celebration and success!
I also carry the memories of my favorite "Carry On" movies of the seventies. To this day I still enjoy a really good English made comedy!
