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

Truth
February 13, 2021 It’s hard to tolerate deceit.I won’t give up, accept defeat.I’ll seek the truth, ignore the lie,So much to learn before I die. When did we stray away from truth,Declare integrity uncouth?The pendulum has swung too far.Deceit will … Continue reading
A Quiet Place
February 12, 2022 Some people like to rush about.They always take the fastest route.I much prefer a slower pace,I don’t consider life a race. I like to savor days I live,Find satisfaction when I give,Find words to share from deep … Continue reading
Kindness
February 11, 2022 We all can give others some kindness, respect,A habit, when busy, we sometimes neglect.It takes little effort, a nod or a smile.When you give it a try you will find it worthwhile. For someone in need, you … Continue reading
Encouragement
February 7, 2022 I pray the words I write ring true,Provide encouragement to you.I pray I touch a heart today,By words I write, or share, or say. I may not know the load you bear,But pray my words convey I … Continue reading
