My winter garden’s droopy,
limpy, squishy, cold and wet.
But down beneath it’s shaping up
to make the best Spring yet!
National Weather Service Blizzard Warning
They say a blizzard’s coming in.
‘Twill hit most ev’ry state.
For some: an inconvenience.
For some: ‘twill devastate.
They say we all should Quick! Get ready!
I’ve done my part!
I’m holding steady!
I’ve got an ice axe standing by with
bottled Starbucks in good supply.
Uvalde, Texas
The Uvalde children haunt me.
Their young deaths: now, Yesterday.
Other killings take the forefront.
Other fam’lies mourn and pray.
Thought for the Day
Here’s a thought to help you out
If you get bored today.
Prop your feet up.
Close your eyes.
And sleep it all away.
Snow
They say we could have heavy snow
to block the mountain passes,
to whiten up the treetops and
to fill the deep crevasses.
They say it could raise levels of
our vital reservoirs,
but add to rushing waters that
erode the rivers’ shores.
They say we should be glad
because it’s winter, and it oughter
bring snow to make a snowpack
that will melt for summer water.
Yellow Buses
The yellow buses stop and go.
The waiting kids climb in.
The buses take them off to school
and bring them home again.
Hope for the Day
I hope this day goes well for you…..
its hours quick and bright.
I hope the day starts out with joy
and ends with peace tonight.
Today
Today I wish you rainbows.
I wish you butterflies.
I wish you happiness that runs
from earth up to the skies.
Today I wish you laughter
and success in all you start,
so ev’ry task you touch today
will match that happy heart.
My Street
I live on a short and quiet street
where I know ev’ryone I meet
and ev’ryone I meet knows me
and we live in peaceful harmony.

Death is final.
Life is gone.
Loving mem’ries
linger on.
