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.
World Pandemic
Yesterday: 13,120 deaths counted
Now the virus spreads and grows–
–sends out its touch of death.
In all the reaches of the earth,
folks draw a final breath.
Every Night
Ev’ry night when I’m heading for bed
I think of the things I could do instead.
I could go for a magic carpet ride.
I could go to Fort Knox and peek inside.
I could play in the garden with a Unicorn.
I could go to New Or’lans and blow my horn.
I could go to the Palace for tea with the Queen….
…and I’d tell all my friends where I had been!
But when it’s time to get into bed
I haven’t done any of the things I said.
So I go to sleep after prayers are read
and angels and sugar plums dance in my head.
