It’s World War III by proxy.
Ukraine sends its fighting men.
Though it isn’t Orthodoxy,
it is still a war we’re in.
Uvalde, Texas
The Uvalde children haunt me.
Always shadows on my mind.
Little faces fade to darkness.
Only mem’ries stay behind.
Thoughts for Cheryl
Life without Tucker
just isn’t the same.
No walk to the beach.
No ball-fetching game.
No picking up dog toys
or poop in the yard.
Life without Tucker’s
incredibly hard.
Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral
Pomp and Pageantry.
What a way to go!

Royalty Watching
Queen Elizabeth is dead.
King Charles is on the throne.
We savor England’s royalty
‘cause we have none of our own.
We could use a Royal Family
to sparkle up our news…
some folks we’d all tsk-tsk about,
who’d gripe us and amuse.
Uvalde, Texas
The Uvalde children haunt me.

In a world that’s filled with turbulence,
let’s pray his reign is steady.
Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
What is today if not tomorrow?
A little more joy? A little more sorrow?
And, after all, what’s yesterday?
Each is only a day away.
