Rainy days and Mondays no longer get me down
Sorry Richard and the late Karen Carpenter
Snow and ice get me down
They are pretty but get in the way and are hazardous
Sorry skiers and skaters
Naysayers may not apply or get in the way of what matters
What matters is doing the very best possible
Doing the right thing when the wrong thing is easier a taste
that completely disagrees with me
My heart is on a page and one that I author
Some will never open it
Too much has happened
Too many last said goodbyes
Rainy days and Mondays no longer get me down

Not doomsday, sorry still have to believe
The future will be different but we will have one
Parties, celebrations, dinners ,vacations are on pause
We anxiously await their return
Perhaps, we have learned just how precious they all are
Just as the family and friends we hold so very dear
We have lost so much and not sure what we have gained
We are all still in some type of mourning
The stages of that all have to be dealt with
So,we deal and no you don't have to like it
Just so you know we are in this together but differently
See long ago, we were taught how to hate and fear
Just like that famous lyric tells us
We need to stop listening to yesterday's messages and find a new today getting us towards tomorrow
Believe whatever you wish
There are many different colors of rainbows after a storm
Sorry, if you are color blind

The face
That sweet and honest face
Makes me happy still long after I was three
He is always around me
No matter where I go or what I do
Pooh I will always love you
Then and now until this khaki coil isn’t under my feet.
Pooh,it is you,my sweet

Cleansing and therapeutic
A Butterfly and three ducks for company
Two black and white marbled
The other marbled with a touch of red near her head
My spirit animals a bear and swan always with me
The very best company
The golden Butterfly landed near me on a water break
All on a Poet's Walk

You placed a band of gold on my finger
Your ring matches exactly
We share our lives together
I love you beyond measure and if ever they measure that it wouldn't be large enough or high enough
Please stop Thanking me
Thank you

Love them all and appreciate them
Watch and photograph them
All different and interesting
You are regal
You are sweet and strong
You have beauty and are statuesque but swans are mean-spirited
Those differences and the respect that Mother Nature has given her children is evident
She and her children deserve it
Even though Dolphins, Pandas, Koalas and whales have my heart
There is room for Owls,Squirels,and
Swans
What is precious  formidable and causes awe struck moments
Biodiversity fills me up
Owls,Squirrels and Swans as well as all their creature friends
Great whether big or small

Not an oldies song though it is heard on Sirius radio.
When you love someone trying to run and ruin your life
You learn that you don’t like them
Narcissistic tendencies don’t make sense to the sensitive and or creative types
Like those who read and teach Thoreau and hike Walden Pond
When you have a connection and experience touching Henry David's Desk
Those who are different know the score
Now, you are Inside looking out
No explanation should be necessary, as it were
As it is

We help and give as we can
Keep comments and discouraging tirades private
Been there and done that as an Educator and in my current work
Where are the good and caring?
The educated and well meaning?
We are the United States
United towards the future and making things the very best they can be
Science and Technology will get us there
People need to remember that what was may never be again
Be ready for the very best which has yet to come

Been  a rainbow chaser my entire life
There are dark hours all around us
We will break through and find a way to the dawn as we salute all those heroes and heroines out there doing their utmost to get us through
It will be worth it in the end,but there is a lot of grief and sorrow accompanying all of us
Make a difference every single day
You will decide and make us all proud
We can’t look the other way
Those literal ones out there may not get it
Us Figurative types have it, always have
We never fit in before but we do now and forevermore in better days ahead

Bid Farewell to Before and Welcome to After
It was only yesterday but sometimes letting it go
frees you in ways you never imagined
You should remember who and what was
On the road for today and towards tomorrow
It was only yesterday leave it there
Enjoy being who you are

She shares the same birthday with the 46th President of the USA.
Happy Birthday, Joe!
She is a week older than Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg.
She shares other Kennedy family birthdays.
The word Rotunda still frightens her because she heard it echoed when our President was assassinated when she was little
She is a Scorpio who brings in the winter Holidays every year even though she was born in the Fall
She is caring, generous, creative, and Kind to a fault.
A Beautiful heart with a plain Jane face but her husband begs to differ
Happy Birthday Scorpio Girl

Together everything is easier
But it won't be easy
Find a way to make it look like it is
Especially when everybody is looking
Who really cares if they are talking because you can't control what they think and say
They need to self edit and self control
Just know your heart and soul
There are surprises along with moments that will become memories
You will reach for them when they are needed on rainy and stormy days
Winter does come during the Summer so be ready though you can never be sure but be sure of each other
Not the way you imagined but incredible just the same
Choose your love carefully and only be crazy for your one and only

Yesterday was your birthday
Not stalking you just revisited yesterday
Wont reach out and never will'
Reminders of you are a very biter pill
SUBO, Whitehead Hall, and Boylan came to call
It was long ago and far from away
Hope your life is happier today
It was not meant to be even for nineteen year old me
Was blind and deaf to reality, you see
Why you played along as a friend, history will show
Better things happened later there this is how it would go
My husband and Two master degrees came
Life has never been the same
We were not meant to be
Took a very long time to move forward you see
I wanted and needed you but all you could do was take and not give
Not a life I wanted to live
