Fear Not, My Friend

As the sun sets on a teeter-tauter week Prospects may seem dauntingly bleak Millions upon millions out of work The ubiquitous virus wears a smirk Consternation, frustration both reign supreme A deeply divided nation dares not dream Fear not, my friend For in heaven the course is set We know not what the tide brings Fish trapped in a wider net

Gershon, Well the journey was always worth it and this poem is proof enough. "Telstar Telstar Listen to me..." Magic star above Send a message to my love Tell her that I'll await patiently Silence so lonely Dreaming of her only Swift and graceful as a dove way up above....Aaaaah... -R
