Today I’m burning a candle for you
to help your heart to sing.
The candle is a comfort and guide
through what the day will bring.
My Kitties’ Bad Day
My kitties had to go to see the vet.
It’s routine. Still, they hate to do it.
But, they hunkered down. They were all good cats.
And somehow we all got through it.
Yesterday
Eleven hundred people died.
Two million got the vaccine.
And many more threw off their masks
for the Spring Break Party Scene.
Rainbow
I reached out for a rainbow
but it slipped away from me.
The colors danced and shimmered
leaving just their memory.
Crescent Moon
Did you see the crescent moon tonight
hov’ring high in the Western sky?
A strip of glimmering, shimmering light—
not a single star near by.
My Cats
My cats and I get along quite well.
The relationship is clear.
They do whatever they want to,
and I don’t interfere.
Avoiding Virus Variants
I follow with alacrity
the CDC’s insistence:
Wash your hands.
Wear your mask.
And keep your social distance.
Candle for You
The candle is burning,
spreading light,
to let you know that
the world’s all right.
Hair
It’s harder than I thought ‘twould be
to get help for my hair.
I’ll have to go on longer with
my hair in disrepair.
Turbo Tax
I’ve fallen in love with Turbo Tax.
I praise their product to the Max.
Tax Season used to make me queasy.
But, now, my taxes are Easy-Peasy.
