Life's Boasting
Have I been a fool?
Oh yes! I conclude.
But who hasn’t misplaced their heart
And later, traipsed upon it?
I wildly detest,
I could return.
I will surely be there again,
Wraith, preying upon me.
Requiem, interrupting my journey,
Suffocating my memory.
Miserly and misshapen.
Life, boasting of its conquest!
Melissa M. Bradley will be 40 years old later this year. She heard the calling to work with older persons early on in her life
and she answered that call. She has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with some graduate work in
gerontology, art, and spirituality. She worked as a Medical Social Worker specializing in Gerontology
for several years.
Becoming disabled five years ago due to multiple rare illnesses, she has had much time to reflect on many
of her experiences and many unpleasant and unwanted circumstances. But,
life, be that as it may, has rewarded her with some understanding, many truths and untruths, love and hate,
and a bit of compassion. She tries to pass some of her wisdom on, as she was not offered these artifacts to keep them selfishly stowed away.
