A Good Shake

Everyone around me's falling Soldiers in this war of life It seems so inescapable Bad news everywhere I turn I just want to be an ostrich for a day Hide my head in sand Buried deep recoup Then give my head a shake Wait for the sunny days Wherein I'll take a deep breath See things with new ray of hope AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on February 28, 2019

"To be an ostrich for a day" - I have had those days, and they are not half as fulfilling as we had anticipated. In this case, I understand the need, in order to "see a ray of hope". Sometimes we have to re-group.

'Soldiers in this war of life', we ARE!! And, "AMEN!" to a 'deep breath' and a 'ray of hope'.
