Twixt Christmas Eve and New Year

‘Twixt Christmas Eve and New Year A time to reflect or regret We ate and drank too much methinks when family and friends we met We remember loved ones no longer here Fast approaching the end of another year As the clock begins to strike On the very dot of midnight We are praying Covid 19 goes away And stepping out to breathe the freshest cleanest air For years we took for granted you and me And longing once again to be mask free Life ne’er can be the same since COVID 19 came Are you and I the ones to really take the blame Or was the sign from up above to show Mother Earth more love For to care ~ not to destroy appreciate ~ and to enjoy Our Mother Earth for all that she is worth...

I still believe this illness was invented by the arrogance of man who thinks he can create things. Let'spray it will fizzle out soon.
