Words Shared
March 4, 2022 The words I place upon the pageDon’t ask about degrees or age,If I’m a novice or a sage,Just if the words I share are true. Words can be twisted, made to lie.I’m always careful, always try,Make sure … Continue reading
Heroic Acts
February 27, 2022 Heroic acts inside UkraineWill be remembered, not in vain.It’s time to rally, help our friends,They have a nation to defend. Throughout the world instilling pride,Let’s let them know we’re on their side.It’s time to let the villains … Continue reading
My Reflection
February 27, 2022 I’m not yet old inside my head.It’s just the mirror that I dread.The face that’s looking back at meIs showing age I must agree. I’m grateful for my hair, though white.Some lose it all, someday I might.I’m … Continue reading

Social Distance
February 20, 2022 Where is the hug, the warm embrace,The kiss placed softly on my face?Is social distance here to stay?It sends a message, “Stay away.” Reach out to hold or shake a hand,Says “I am here, I understand.”There’s healing … Continue reading
The Elderly
February 19, 2022 Those gentle winds of change each day,That change us in such subtle ways,Sometimes erupt as vicious storms,Uproot our ways, traditions, norms. A storm may leave our bodies frail.We persevere, somehow prevail.We learn as we encounter strife,We make … Continue reading
Herd Immunity
February 18, 2022 Immunity combined with herd,Quite common now to hear the word.What once brought cattle, sheep to mind,Now testing stations, cars in line. Perceptions of the words have changed,No longer picture open range.We’re grouped into a huddled mass.Will we … Continue reading
Take Time
February 17, 2022 I recommend some quiet time to let your soul find rest,To give your spirit time to seek the pathway for your quest.The journey through life’s wilderness has many paths to choose.Sometimes a pathway looks the same, it’s … Continue reading
