Our Human Den

Here we are still waiting for the final cure betwixt new hope  
and even though our days have not been samely sane, we cope  
I think perhaps we've learned to take it all in stride, as we live   
we give life a second chance , bravely moving up the slope ...

Places we love are beginning to re open so let us be grateful  
lets not make a mess of things  like we did the day before 
never let your fears get the best of you, laugh a little 
bring some joy to your neighbor, smile and be friendly 

Better days are up ahead give thanks and be grateful 
together we will heal and move on to better things 
Lots has changed but one thing I know for certain is this 
we will always need each other to be brave, so take courage 

Here we are awaiting the vaccine even if we don't know when,  
we're standing stronger than before,  inside this human den

French researchers claim Belgian Malinois shepherd dogs can detect those infected with COVID-19 by one swift sniff of an armpit with 100% accuracy, so help is on the way! Aloha! Rico

Congratulations on your win. A den is a great way to say it. A bear, a sleep for the winter. Enjoy your win and day............
