RIVERWOODS POEMS: KARMA

KARMA

I never planned a future.

I never envisioned a life.

A series of doors opened up.

Like Alice I scurried through them:

Accepted college tuition,

In Wyoming encountered a husband,

Spent two years in Lima, Peru,

Helped to erect two houses,

Taught English classes and reading,

Had five outstanding offspring

Who now keep an eye on me.

I did not pursue my destiny.

My star led me on like the magi.

      Poetic license. I got to know him in Wyoming after Dick introduced him briefly in Wis. We were teaching Baptist vacation Bible schools.
