Living the Aging Life

My pretty pink primrose

looks up through the rain.

Covered with droplets…

she’s smiling again.

May comfort walk with you today

and cup its arms around you.

May quiet calm enfold your soul

and only good surround you.

Butterflies.  Forget-me-nots.

Rainbows up above.

Pixie dust.  Fairy rings.

People that I love.

Catch a Blessing in your hand

and touch it to you heart.

Say Goodbye to all that’s past …..

each day’s a brand new start.

I’m sending you a Blessing

for morning, noon, and night.

And, if this Blessing has its way,

your day will be just right!

My Princess Irene tulips made

a tasty Rabbit Snack.

They were a Bed of Beauty

till Pesky Rabbits came back.

My garden has a brand new gate,

but you can come right in.

The gate is mostly symbol:

it’s not meant to stop a friend.

Dr. Fauci says:  It’s ending.

Says:  The future’s not so bleak.

Says:  There’ll still be lots of trouble

as we lurch from week to week.

Fauci says:  It’s largely over,

that the worst is now behind,

that there’s light behind the shadows

and some hope can fill our mind.

Still, infections keep on rising

as new variants are found,

and it still feels pretty scary

with the risks that hang around.

It’s been two years of trouble….

months and months of dread and woe.

Schools and businesses were shuttered…

hunkered down…. no place to go.

Still, we’re coming out of darkness

from the depths of COVID night.

We can feel a little hopeful—

there may be an end in sight.

Mrs. Curry doesn’t worry

about what I don’t know.

Mrs. Curry thinks about

the ways to help me grow.

Mrs. Curry doesn’t flurry or

fly into a stew

when I’m not quick to

understand or make a math miscue.

Mrs. Curry thinks about

the usefulness of math,

and helps me find the ways that I

grow smarter on that path.

Those Pesky Rabbits are Back Again!

My tulips face Mortal  Danger!

But, it’s good to have them in my yard…

Welcome Back, you Frisky Stranger!
