Sharing The Load

An expanded and edited version, of my poetic response, to Tina Louise's poem, "Dark Rambling 2". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/TiaLouise/1323678/

May I

Have a cookie?

As we trade war stories
While shedding

A tear or two.

Even

Share a laugh
Too.

Knowing
That tomorrow is
Another day.

We can celebrate
Ourselves.
