Washington State Re-Opens
They say this Celebration
marks the End of the COVID Fear.
They say if you get the new Vaccine,
you face a Bright New Year.
They say for some,
it’s getting worse.
For most of us,
we’ve passed the Curse.
They say our lives
will all be changed…
our “normal” patterns
re-arranged…
We mourn: Six hundred thousand dead.
But, now we see there’s life ahead.
We had a look at the face of death.
Now we’re grateful for our life and breath.
