Today, The Beautiful Space published my poem "Sam's Mystique."  This is a really terrific Facebook page with lots of heart and soul.  I read it every day.  If you know anyone with a disability, you will come across some fine writing to pay tribute to those who suffer from a disorder.  Cheers, TBS!!

Sam's Mystique-a poem by Linda Imbler 2/11/2017 0 Comments ​Sam’s Mystique Grandpa, cried the little boy, That kid looks just like you! That's cause he has Progeria which came and stole his youth. Endows old people ailments that overshadow young minds, internal and external clocks are never synced in time. Loss of hair and fragile bones, plus muscle mass so low, old age problems come on so fast the body’s just not toned. The boy could see deep, dark veins through thin and wrinkled skin, saw teeth not straight and hearing poor, Sam’s blood flow blocked within. Yet there was a heart inside, as big as all outdoors, a soul that cried, just let me once join friends on that dance floor. Sam and Hayley shared this pain, (Yes, girls can get this too,) but now both dance beyond the stars, angels dance with these two.
