Rediscovering Hope

~~Recovering Hope~~


       Existing in fear is nothing to cheer
       Your death cannot be hidden from
       A sunny day could be your last 
       It comes to one and all
       Some drink till dead
       Some overeat
       Stop the fear
       Let go
       Live

Hello Ann~ the world is perfect the way it is AND the way it is not. Enjoy every day and bring sunshine to others, not storms. We are acting like infants. As if death suddenly appeared on the planet? Plug your ears to doom prophets. Stay sane. God has His plans. Panagiota xx

Hi Jennifer! California has had the virus since last October! So by not being lockdowned till way late~ we all immunized each other. For a population of 40 million, our death rate is not astronomical and they have no count of recoveries since October. Thus None of my family is living in fear! Better days are here! It's 85 and I'm not buying into any fear mongering. Only have one day to live, this one.Eddie is happy and so are we!plus CA has no 5G. Italy and China are loaded with that junk. Get it? Thanks..Panagiota xx

I plan to live as long as I can. I'm in no hurry to end this wild ride but look forward to the next journey. Faith is a wonderful thing. I just posted another poem about faith... I'm eager to hear your thoughts on it. Have a great day my friend.

I agree, David! Hoping to live to 100+! And yes, the next journey will be even better..))) so there in nothing to worry about. Fear is far worse than a disease. And a pox on all fear merchants, David. Going to see your poem. Panagiota xxx

Truth in a fine message well delivered my friend. One should not let fear destroy joy of life. Death will come in its own time. Your message is wisdom and poetry united by a true poet's heart. A fav..

We must live in this world, not shudder behind doors or lies? Such gross pontificating.it is sickening. After all this nonsense, when and if, they get numbers right. There are less deaths from this than the normal flu! Terrific job of scaring people and stealing our freedoms. True ScareCrows! Thanks for FAVINg. Panagiota xxx
