Has death come for everyone? One minute your here the next your gone. We don't know in who death abides Stranger, friend, or family member is Where he hides. Pull in your welcome mat Don't let them Inside. This is our reality. Death will devour In misery from a virus that is a mystery. We don't know our hour Forget the grass plot your burial you have Lost At no cost. Who would of thought That this year would be fraught With death all around. Yet, I am thankful for those on the rebound Who are home bound. To rest And hopefully feeling blest For death they did cheat. Please, stay off the street. To everyone I say this is our Metamorphosis Our genesis So don't be remiss. Our lives are a gift. Even though for now it seems we have Been set adrift. Enjoy the sounds of the whip-poor-will Nature gives us a renewed will. Listen to music And look for life's magic. Right now we seem fragile This is only for a little while. Enjoy what God has designed It is to remind Us that he has created everything That people have been altering. Think As you stand by your sink. You have been given a chance To do your own dance In your own paradise. Please, take some advice Do more than exist. Sure life is full of twists This is where you can show your light Shine it bright. Don't be a hypocrite. Make it exquisite. Believe me I care. I say this prayer Let me be an ambassador Of faith, love, and hope For People in life to cope.

A time of spiritual thoughts of what we have gained and what we should have had done, as we pray not just for everyone, but for yourself that you have faith that there will be an end. Nicely said, Bette. Hugs Eve
