I woke up and was happy Looking out the window I saw That snow had covered the ground That fact made May our eighth month of winter We have June, July, August, and September left To squeeze in three seasons It is a great challenge It is also amusing The people here in God’s country Handle these quirks of nature with dignity They don’t like it, but accept it We admire the Governor of Florida He is running an open State We in the Upper Peninsula should be open, too Even the Down State people should be free In New York the Governor said Over 60% of the deaths Have come from people isolated at home The rest of the deaths came from expected sources Including Nursing Homes which were Forced to take care of Covid-19 patients Amazing facts, when power supersedes sensibility The world keeps turning Fishermen are out testing their skills Enthusiasts are out looking for mushrooms Gardeners are getting their plots ready for planting Everyone outside is looking for the ticks and hornets All of this is what we do A part of nature A great time for reflection I think of man’s inhumanity to man Indians slaughtered; slaves abused, but later freed Thought to be inferior by some Millions killed in Russia, China, Turkey and elsewhere Christians killed as I write and you read Dictators watching starvation killing their people Corrupt nations and world organizations ///But we have hope/// The Light will overcome all darkness We must all try to be part of the light Let His will be done Stanski May 8, 2020 ^
