Day: March 24, 2020

And then the sun shined
We were uplifted
The light of nature
Quiet but powerful
The Light of the Maker
Quiet and not always recognized
It is an insane world
We drift along for eons
Seemingly unaware
Perform by instinct or intuition
Survive as best we can
Everyone has some function
Hard to understand it all
Most abide by expectation
Some require mandated rules
Order is the normal stand
Very few have a problem
Many work to get ahead
Others just to survive
We all depend on each other
A collage of activities
Order is seldom upended
Peacefulness the way of the land
Then a crisis may hit us
Tornados, hurricanes, floods,
Pestilence, fires, and war
The norm has been upset
As has the way we react
Some get out of control
Cause more problems than they know
Others seek the Light, knowing
The quiet power of prayer
They analyze and prepare
Look to solve the problems
No one has all the answers
We do the best that we can
The desire for order is prevalent
The pathway has obstacles
Intense people forge the way
Knowing Who holds their hand
They feel ready for all encounters
Knowing that they will overcome

I bundled up as much as possible
The day looked inviting
The sun was out and
There was beauty to behold,
But I wasn’t going out
 
I then took off my over clothes
Decided to take a nap
Needed to reserve my strength
During this unusual crisis
Thought this was good advice
 
I went to Facebook and had to laugh
People blaming, blaming and blaming
Monday morning quarterbacking
So typical of small minded
Of those who cannot think for themselves
 
Many, many countries infected
Still it is the Presidents fault
He didn’t act fast enough in
Declaring a national emergency
Ridiculed when he did
 
It took him two whole days
And this while being impeached
No one wants this viral curse
We should be together on this
Is respect a dangerous word
 
I think of the Gambler
You have to know when to hold them
Know when to fold them
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
 
We are all going to win a few
Losing is bound to happen
Even to the righteous ones
The very best you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep
