We’re near a million US dead.
New deaths aren’t even news.
We’ve other things to shock us,
things to baffle and confuse.
Our attention’s moving onward.
Other crises mark our day.
The death toll from Old COVID?
It’s just all So Yesterday.
Post-Pandemic Possibilities
I’m Vaxxed and Boosted,
and, whaddya know?
In COVID terms,
I’m good to go.
As long as folks stay
outta my space,
I don’t even have to
cover my face.
I’ve done all the things
they told me to.
I even got shot
against the flu.
I’ll go outside and
breathe fresh air.
I’ll face the world and
see what’s there.
Blessings
May Blessings warm and comfort you
with softness in your days.
May inner sunshine light your soul
and peace be yours always.
Lullaby
May this lullaby enfold you
as you move from night to noon,
‘cause a lullaby’s just a blessing
with a tune.
Pink Primrose
The pretty pink primrose
is blooming again.
She lifts her face to the sun.
She offers her beauty
to all who pass by.
She smiles for every one.
The Candle
I burn my candle.
It shines bright, and true.
You will always know
there’s a light for you.
Will Dog-Sit for Diet Pepsi
I’m available to dog sit.
Diet Pepsi is my price.
You needn’t offer money.
Diet Pepsi will suffice.
Putin in Kindergarten –“Play Nice With Others”
“Please be nice, young Vladimir.
Hold hands, and wait your turn.”
But, Putin’s not a nice boy.
So, Putin didn’t learn.
Sometimes a Lullaby
Sometimes I need a lullaby —
a simple, soothing song.
Sometimes it takes a melody
to smooth my day along.
Sometimes it takes some gentle notes –
a quiet, soft refrain.
Sometimes it takes a lullaby
to make me whole again.
–
Sometimes I need a lullaby.
Blessing
May this soft and gentle blessing
add sweet comfort to your day.
May its strength reach out to lift you
in your steps along the way.
