Do you remember a few weeks ago Carol DeJong from IL sent in some poetry to share? I was so pleased to be holding another poem of hers for springtime, but spring snuck up on me! It's here now though, and I hope you enjoy it to the max! 💗 ferree
Appears to me that it may be time to hit refresh
Long overdue if this was a test
Sitting at home during covid, I have the blahs
Seeing things in terms of no’s and nah’s…
So easy to get down and in the dumps
Harder to say, “ we can stand the lumps.”
This stay-at-home order is hard to take
Sick of making and doing and things to bake
I want company, laughs, confidences and more
I want to get out and see people out my door
Not dead yet but a little older for sure
Still want fun and anything that will get the cure
A new outlook is what we need to find
Start thinking of others and human kind
We should focus on what we can do
Not all that we’ve been thru
Sure, sometimes this life is rough….
And we think we’ve already been through enough
We’ve been workers and mothers, widows now
But now is the time to put hand to plow
To encourage others to see this through
To get the shot and break this Covid Flu
Show them how to face each day with a smile
Share devotions, phone calls and talk awhile
Human contact is what we need
Computer and texts just are there to read
Reach out and call an old friend or acquaintance
It isn’t hard, just needs a little maintenance
Knowing that our reward is from above
Refresh us oh Lord, Again, refresh us
In your Word we will always trust
What a blessing to know our new direction
Keep us in sync with our renewed connection
From you word we don’t want to part
Thank you, Holy Spirit that lives in our heart!
So, with this poem we must take heart
It won’t be long and we will not be apart
Shout out loud and make it clear….
SPRING IS ALMOST HERE
Absolutely beautiful.
