The Unwilling Traveler by Sandy Rochelle
The boat moved closer to the shore.
I spied my grandmother long past and much loved.
Sitting in a chair.
My chair was not designed for my broken back.
But I sat and waited for my boat to reach the shore.
One must wait you know without expectation.
The waves carried me through the unsettled waters.
