Day: July 5, 2020

 
Cold October winds
Blew away colored leaves
Left us with early snow
This was not anticipated

Halloween was wet with rain
Thanksgiving and Black Friday
Greeted us with doldrums
Christmas and New Years
Were less enchanting and
Without the usual spirit

January snowed as the
President was impeached and
Mocked for his concern about
The deadly Wuhan Virus

February, cold and snow
Valentine’s Day lost its heart

Facial masks and social distancing
Non-essential businesses
Closed down by fiat

March came in and left as a lion
April showers were white
A lovely backdrop for early flowers
May was full of promises
But snow fell as depression rose
People were dying of the virus

June began with snow and ended
With fire, destruction and looting
By paid anarchists, who led and
Encouraged the foolish followers

Businesses were opening under
Strict conditions as July presented
Our first heat wave in years

There was a modicum of hope
Even though the realization existed
That certain people hate this country
And also the President who had
Kept most of his campaign promises

He had led while under constant attack
He had underestimated the depth of
The Swamp he was trying to drain
He had enemies on both sides of the aisle

Still, while being investigated for three years
Managed to work on building the wall
Promised to President Reagan and
Supported by everyone at one time or
Another, but not now as funding was cut
 
He improved condition for everyone
Lowered taxes and ended regulations
Our soldiers were taken care of and
The Military rebuilt expeditiously
He protected our military personnel
Keeping them out of harm’s way
He had two major terrorist leaders killed

We became energy independent
Interest was low, unemployment low
And inflation low and the country was
Prospering as never before and then
He was abused by the media again as
The China Virus killed many of us
And shut down the country

He persevered and did all things
Possible to help hospitals and
Front line responders
This pandemic was vicious and costly

One of the founders of Green Peace
When it seemed no one was listening
Declared that the climate change agenda
Was all a hoax perpetrated on those
Who so easily and willingly believed
The media, of course, failed to report

We celebrate this Independence Day
With visions of statues being
Torn down by the ignorant led on by
Paid conspirators who provided us
With the cold winds of sadness

Contentment and containment
Are a long way away, but in the end
This nation, under God, will prevail

We ask for His blessing on us and on
All the people of the world who are
Being suppressed by vicious dictators
And abused by incompetent leaders

We pray for those tormented by
Hunger, lack of water, locust infestations
And natural disasters in magnitudes
We can only imagine
