The Candle

The candle’s steady flame

is burning bright and clear and true —

sending out its loyal light

to shine a path for you.

Waiting

There’s a ship in the harbor,

queued up in line…

waiting for dock space…

biding her time.

I tossed you a Rainbow…

I caught a Rainbow in my hand

and I tossed it on to you –

to make you a Day of Rainbows –

of every color and hue.

Any COVID progress?

Are we surging forward

or plummeting back?

I’m having a COVID

Data Attack!

Vaccinations are on the rise!

Light is shining through!

But now the frowners warn us:

We’re slipping back to Phase Two!

Thoughts

Today I’ll think about rainbows.

I’ll think about skies of blue.

I’ll think about joy and laughter.

And I’ll send those thoughts to you.

COVID Despair

We’ve all got COVID of the Brain.

It’s a malady we can’t sustain.

We need relief, but I do maintain

we’ll never see “normal” life again!

Baby Bunny

A baby bunny hops across the lawn –

just a blur of brown in the early dawn.

It’s pretty little to be out alone.

I hope it knows how to find its way home.

India: Today’s COVID Center

In India, the bodies burn

in flashing flames of fire.

The country staggers with the deaths

as the COVID pace grows higher.

Today’s Chores

I’ve cleaned up my refrigerator.

I’ve mopped up the kitchen floor.

Then I tidied up the cat box.

I’m not doing any more!

Today’s Candle

The candle’s flame is steady.

Its light is clear and true.

The candle’s light is burning.

It shines its light for you.
