Drizzle?  Finally!

it’s a misty, moisty morning –

just a “normal” Northwest day.

The whole world’s feeling lighter

now some rain’s come back our way.

COVID Conundrum

Eleven hundred die each day.

I can’t understand why.

With vaccines so available,

why do they choose to die?

Your Day

I sprinkled your path with pixie dust

and I marked it with candlelight,

and I asked the angels to stand on guard

so your day would be all right.

Then I sent a gentle lullaby–

its tones are soft and slight–

and angels will stay beside your bed

to protect you through the night.

Yellow Buses

The kids are heading back to school–

–big yellow buses rolling—

The sight lifts up my spirits –

it’s comfort and consoling!

I pray each child will have a friend

and a day of eager learning–

–safe harbor during hours of day–

and a warm, secure returning.

Pixie Dust

Today I send you love and joy

for happiness in your day.

I’m tossing in some pixie dust

for sparkle along your way.

Gray Day

The started out quite dull and gray.

I decided to make things lighter.

I sprinkled around some pixie dust.

And, now: Things look much brighter!

Shooting Rampage: Lakeland, Florida

He set out to kill:

man, woman, and child,

and a babe in its mother’s arm.

He donned a vest.

Picked up his guns.

And set out to do them harm.

He shot at cops.

He fought for their guns.

But when he didn’t win,

he threw up his hands

 and quit the fight

so there ‘d be no harm to him.

Season’s Change

An Autumn chill is in the air.

The nights are turning colder.

This Fall will slip to Wintertime

before we’re all much older!

Tonight’s Lullaby

Tonight I send a lullaby.

Its notes are sweet and low.

It ripples like a gentle brook

where only sweet dreams flow.

Day’s End

Night spreads her gentle presence.

Darkness marks the end of day.

Gentle slumber overtakes us.

Dreams rock the night away.
