Lately my feet have been dragging My right knee is almost worn down Saw doctor about a replacement Seems I am not ready now A year has gone by marked by COVID19 Knee hears unconventional drumbeat Its pops and crackles create a weird tune Without any rhythm at all Lately I've listened to this cry of alarm Made an appointment to have things checked out Began exploring possible treatments Tiptoeing to my marching song I knew today that I'm moving on When I was beginning to wonder How to check my walker on an airplane A sign my old zest has returned

Holiday Message 2020
A strange year just passed shaped by COVID19
Not in sync with my usual Christmas card message
Wearing masks for distancing safe but not jolly
Constant hand washing causes skin to dry out
A tragic time for U.S. and the world
Overwhelming death counts and grieving survivors
Occupy daily news headlines and stories
Businesses closed devastate the economy
Virtual school classes and all sorts of Zooming
Afford us necessary human connections
Neighbors helping neighbors and kindness of strangers
Testify that love still sheds a warm light
Holiday time is simply amazing
The arts are creating novel celebrations
Human spirit surges to reaffirm season
God’s gift of new life evergreen
