Bed Early Poem by Ian Keenan

Bed Early



Bed early this evening,
Saturday,
Wife at a sick friend’s,
Kids in London.

I see around me photos
And memorabilia,
Constant reminders
Of where I’ve been
And why.

Her friend is dying of cancer,
Appreciation now embedded
In my blood,
Of what I have
I need to cherish,
Before my time
Arrives.
