A Short Story

Unknown-1

The snow fell all night and all day - over 3 feet of snow. As a 9-year- old, I loved it. In the evening when the snowfall subsided, I did as I always did, and ventured out with my snow shovel to make some money. 

I knocked on several neighborhood doors with no luck. Finally, at a home with a 30’ X 20’ driveway, the owner agreed to my $5 offer to shovel their driveway. I was pleased. $5 was a lot of money in those days.

Over 3 hours later and exhausted, I knocked on the door to announce I completed the shoveling. During my ordeal, I convinced myself the homeowner would see how much work their driveway required and give me more than what I asked. He didn’t.

And so I learned a big, important lesson when I was 9 years old. Don’t be stupid.

At the blink of an eye, 
Life moves us from 
Bliss to Sorrow,
Give to borrow.

Ever-changing,
Delivering us to another place, 
To another destination,
From another space.

Requiring us
To reflect;
To sense what we haven’t sensed before;
To absorb what is around us.

Resulting in us 
Seeing through things, 
Around things,
Inside things.

Discovering
Our real worth,
What we’re made of,
And what we’ve become.

All the pieces are here, 
Our family’s fabric 
Sewn tightly together, 
Sinewy and strong.

New and old blended together.
Year in year out, life gets better.
