Isn’t it true that we have feelings?
I have feelings and with them ideas
I wish I could arrange to have all the people
I have connected with, if only for a short while,
over the years and exchanged ideas, love, friendship
with and engaged well with, with mutual respect
and admiration get together for a while or forever
and enjoy each-others company with the feeling
that everyone knows each other intimately
and it has always been that way and there is peace
tranquility and excitement that is so great that no one
wants the gathering to end and there is no reason
for it to end and so it goes on and is never boring
and the others bring in those who were and are
special to them and this amazing euphoria expands
to everyone and just sustains itself with no effort
There is food and wine and sunshine with a warm
breeze and everyone is natural with no expectations

Potentially this phenomena could expand to
include every soul who ever existed and it would be
divine with embellishments, such as golden roads,
lovely streams of bubbling water and gardens so
common that it feels like home and those you run into
for the first time are like the lovely people you like
to be with and everyone is thankful without wearing
it on their sleeve and no one wants more than what
they have because happiness is just in being and
then a Being only described as the Light arrives and
says welcome everyone, you are home and everyone
remains calm as they observe Goodness and someone
offers this Light a glass of wine and with a soft wind
flowing through the area, the answer is yes, I would be
very happy with a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or
an Oregon Pinot Gris and when asked about a red
mentioned that a Chianti Classico Reserve would be
fine later with our dinner and we can expect to enjoy
the music of Ella, Louis, Frankie, Miles, Grover, Elvis,
Elton and the Beatles and the evening would never end,
but the Light would always shine and the feelings are 
real and we know that this is it

There can be no denying that this is Mother’s Day
Somehow there is a much different feeling to it
Then there is when things are more normal
There was no soccer match at the park
Where the parents could cheer on
Their little lunatics to victory and then
With their mates or husbands or wives form
A little tunnel for the little darlings to run through
With each of the little boys or girls stopping by
Their moms and giving them a rose which
Would be their sign of love, hoping that when
They got home they would not get a spanking
For their poor showing on the field and
The fact that their bedroom was a mess
Life goes on sonny and you have to keep up
You fall behind and you stay behind, so
Clean the bathroom when your finish your bedroom
 
Things are not like they were in the Ozzie
And Harriet days when everything was well
Peace and happiness prevailed and
The whole family went to lunch for a celebration
Those days are gone forever just like the old telephones
Now everyone has a device and many will text
Their mom and wish her the best
Oh, George, mom will say, look he didn’t forget
That’s my boy, George will say as his fat fingers
Peck away trying to message his own mom
Who is possibly in prison or in a nursing home
There will be no flowers this year as it is too cold
And the shops have been determined non-essential
The grocer’s supplier was all out when he arrived
Dad needed an elective knee replacement, but
But was denied, leaving the hospital almost empty
 
Our Governor is sulking because she did not get
The main role in her high-school play
Two of my daughters went to the same school
At the same time and said she was the queen of drama
But couldn’t remember lines and didn’t have the voice
She dresses fancy now and uses a lot of makeup
She has called off the celebration of Memorial Day and
Was not very impressive in announcing it
I feel for the soldiers and their mothers
Some on each side have left us, sometimes both
War is a terrible thing just as is the virus
In NYC 66% of the deaths have come from those in isolation
Nearly 10% were from those put into nursing homes
Who comes up with these ideas?  This is America
Hallmark has a new line of Virus cards.  They are adorable
Happy Mother’s Day to all the believers out there
