C. A. Burkett Poet Rhyme

Made Out of Glass

So many things for us to do today
Here’s a few, what do you say

Call an old friend 
And discuss remember whens

Send out some smiles
Watch them spread just like fire

Help someone keep living 
Without asking for a ribbon

Clean out a drawer 
Give the extra to the poor

Sweep the webs from the corners
Watch out for those hoarders

Clean up your mind
Erase the dirt and the grime

Nourish your soul
Read an inspirational poem

Thank God above 
For His countenance and love

Find an activity
Where you’ll smile and feel giddy

Just be your best self
Don’t keep your good on a shelf

Remember our masks
Are made out of glass
