Delayed

Delayed.

Don’t you just love winter weather

And its effects on travel?

Four hours in Reno

Another flight

A different bus

A frigid wait

And an icy walk home

But I’m finally here

Three hours later than planned

Delayed.

Don’t you just love mistakes

And their effects on life?

Four years in Limbo

Another try

A different path

A crash into reality

And a painful return to the Living

Delayed.

It took forever to get here

And now I don’t know what to do with myself

Am I ready for class?

Am I ready for snow?

Am I ready for you?

I’m sorry it took me so long –

I was delayed.
