It started in Mt. Vernon

  Anniversary days bring anxiety, fear.  I've known this was coming since this time last year.  Still, This is the day the Lord hath made! Maybe I'm a little bit off today.  People everywhere, still I'm alone.   Talk and laughter, but none of my own.  I try to act normal. There's nothing to say.    Yes.  I'm a little bit off today.  No secret as to the reason why.    Someone dear to me,  on this day passed by.    Memories bring smiles and a tear to my face.   For sure.  I'm a little bit off today.  It's odd, to be neither here or there.  How can you let me know that you care? Give me some room.  I'll find my way.   Might help. I'm a little bit off today. Time has stopped on the clock on the wall.  The second hand is stubborn.  It refuses to fall.  Will this day ever end?  It's 10 AM you say?  No doubt.  I'm a little bit off today. ...
