Marking the Days

I read about a mom and son 
Who chose to mark the days
Since Covid struck by making cranes
In most creative ways.

One paper crane a day displayed
And posted as amassed 
Allowed them to acknowledge 
The uncommon year that passed.

I love a daily noting
Of the march of Father Time, 
Whether origami-folded
Or some pencilled words in rhyme.

I have tried origami; I am insanely clumsy and powerfully bad at it. I like this one though; especially the last line.

Staying creative certainly passes the time and keeps the mind healthy in these dark times. Tom
