Rainbows filled my mind

Snapshots of a gentler time rainbows filled my mind Freshwater streams, nature unsullied Faces helpful, eager, kind Page after page, endearing smiles teeth all perfectly aligned No hint of what's to come ~ navigating blind

Unfortunately on this earth we move past rainbows and kindness into the abyss but we look up and know who will restore our fortunes. Be blessed.

Let us stay out of the abyss... Interesting that Ethiopia used to be 'Abyssinia' ''til about 1960 or so, if memory serves me correctly... Hmmmm. ~ Dark places, gw

I miss those times as well. I have found some ways to re - create them. A smile begets a smile. No choice but to keep on navigating. Best, SuZ

I found this Rhyme poem nostalgic and uplifting. The ending line is how I feel some days...navigating blind...gotta have those cataracts removed! enjoy your weekend, Sara
