Advent

One tree this year.

A time to remember.

We miss our loved ones

In this Covid December .

We will not forget

We are still in hope.

While many have lost

and now have to cope.

We light the candles

We cut the cake.

Pray for the lost,

different memories we make.

A childhood unsuspecting

Grown now; reflecting

So the gray lights the

Day of anticipation

Soon to be Christmas

Let me see if I

can add miles to my run

As Christmas draws near

Welcome the First Sunday of Advent

A winter Moon

Upon the crest

Shines a light

The season’s best

Of cold and ice

Is set to be

Expectancy

of winter’s eve .

I lost a long time friend last night. I woke this morning to the news. So this afternoon I went to a movie as a day out and distraction. The name of the movie was ” Mule” with Clint Eastwood, there were 2 take-away sentences. One was ” how old would you be if you did not know the year you were born?” The other, ” you cannot buy time”

3rd Sunday of Advent

A wakeful glimpse

Into darkness that helps us

See past into the light
