SHROVE TUESDAY

Pancakes are flying as they are flipped
Traditions carry on to the delight of many
Fat Tuesday is another name
Sadness as the Pagan Mardi Gras parade -
Is the cause of death of a few participators
I like happiness and good times, but
This parade could be scraped and
I would not care; all energy is wasted
Sins committed for which the Savior died
 
The birds are flying today
Happy as the sunshine warms a little
Deer jump six feet snow banks
One, then another, just in front of us
Two are standing still, waiting their turn
Survival is in their instincts
Friends are in flight also
Some to South Carolina for a month
Some to Arizona for six weeks
 
I will stay to keep watch
It is good to do so
There are steady people who need encouragement
Disheartened over matters they cannot control
The wicked witch has left orders
Then disembarked to unknown regions
Has her control network in place
None dare step over the line
Wrath, a deadly sin, is not pretty
 
The birds are flying
Deer are jumping and surviving
People are traveling for a winter respite
Humble workers carry on
There is goodness about
There are many people who care
Things may appear to be in a scramble
But there is the One who knows peace and order
His light will overcome all darkness
