God Has This

Blessed to have my health and my family’s health
Respectfully sheltering in place just incase
Creatively painting, drawing, cartooning and writing
Ordinary things we used to take for granted are missed now
Heartfelt appreciation for nature, my new companion.

Slinking in the corner of my mind are doubts about this pandemic
Lazy days are sprouting up, as today is the last day of school for me
Energetically excited about the things I will be doing this summer
Generously not calling a relative on her stuff, retaining my own happiness
Negative doubts about this pandemic being real creeping into my mind

Young at heart, I do not see myself any older than nineteen some days
Mysteriously happy about the self-imposed solitude that is gifting me time
Lickity split decisions are no longer the case, there is so much less stress
Zany how excited I am about not having to drive on the freeway daily
Understandably anxious to get back to normal and see my grandchildren

Doubtful about all of these virus deaths, want to see a list of names please.
Wishing this pandemic had never happened – here or anywhere else.
I am praying nightly and sometimes in the day too that Covid19 will disappear.
Kindergarten will never be able to stay six feet apart, so I marvel at that suggestion.
Awesome that the summer is starting for me today! In nine hours! 

Optimistic that God has this!
