Christmas Cards
I threw away old Christmas Cards today.
Going through the Christmas closet,
there they were, from dear friends.
Years and years of hellos in December
sparkles and snow scenes with pictures.
They shared their families triumphs,
some sharing the passing of loved ones.
I am not sure why I kept them,
I guess they felt like treasured gifts.
However, time lessons the feelings
as they collect to be too many.
I decided to throw away the old ones.
Few send Christmas Cards anymore,
they have become less and less.
It is mostly done from family
or retired people with more time.
I threw away the old Christmas Cards today
an era of innocence, at least if feels that way to me.

Christmas Painting

The beginning of my Christmas painting,
stay tune for the completion.
I hope it is as wonderful as I want it to be,
I hope it looks festive with all the Christmas trees.

Always the Rainbow

The grace was shown
Moments from the throne
The universe shares
As all who cares
Bids the tears
Of the many years
Timeless in sorrows
For all our tomorrows …

Eliza Strong

Run with the angels Eliza,
we will never forget.
The strength of your will,
the power of your step.
We will continue to run,
with the spirit of all who knew.
Why you slipped on your shoes
out for a morning renew.
Run with the Angels Eliza,
we will push forward for you.
All the runners behind you,
will continue to tie up our 👟 shoes.
(Dedicated to : Eliza Fletcher who lost her life recently just out for a run.)

Kindness

There are people
Who help you smile
Just by being in your path
And offer kindness for a while

When We Were a Couple of Kids

This should be a blank page,
but it is not…
Because now we have little ones
massacred in playful steps
while celebrating their last
Days of school.
Receiving honors for hard work,
looking forward to hazy days
and ice cream reasons.
Instead it is replaced
with Gurneys carrying out limp
souls of young bodies
dangling from under discrete sheets.
Screams are heard in meeting
places as families receive the news.
Darkness takes place,
” when we were A couple of kids”
