I looked for the moon in the cold night sky.

I looked for it high and low.

I looked everywhere.

But it wasn’t there.

Nowhere.

Where did it go?

OMG! Did you see the moon

hanging low in the northwest sky?

OMG!  Did it lose its way

midst the planets hurtling by?

OMG! Did it make a mistake?

Did it change its course too soon?

OMG! As you came awake…

did you happen to see the moon?

The Uvalde children haunt me.

Little lives – so harshly gone.

Horror splashes through the headlines.

Then, our  memories move on.

…Succumbing to temptation!!…

I hear the cookies calling!

Crumbl Cookies in the house!

Defenses are all Falling!

SOS!

SOS!

It’s true January rings in a New Year.

It’s also a month that’s quite dismal and drear.

I watch all the forecasts.  I’m feeling quite wary.

Who knows what we’ll get when it turns February?

I live alone with three old cats.

They keep me company.

I grumble ‘bout them all the time, but

they’ve been good for me.

Life gets pretty quiet as

the sight and hearing goes.

Then, suddenly, a friendly cat

comes dancing ‘round one’s toes.

I’m coming down with Brain Fatigue

about our fam’ly tree.

I know that we’re related,

but what are you to me?

Since your father was my cousin

and your grandma was my aunt,

we’ve got a clear connection –

though the written record’s scant.

It’ll be a fun adventure

into Genealogy, and

we’ll all become acquainted

as we climb our Fam’ly Tree.

May sunbeams shine to light your path.

May fairies guide your way.

May leprechauns drop pots of gold.

May you know Joy today.

Today I send you love and joy,

with blessings for your day.

I’m tossing in some Pixie Dust

to lighten up your way.
