GETTING UP
FACING A NEW DAY IS A STRUGGLE
WHAT WILL I HAVE TO LOOK FORWAR TO?
PAIN, ALWAYS PAIN
IT NEVER GOES AWAY
MAKING THE BEST OF A BAD SITUATION
TRYING TO STRUGGLE ALONG EACH DAY
PUTTING A SMILE ON MY FACE
TO HIDE THE GRIEF
HOPING TO GIVE HOPE TO SOMEONE I MEET
THE GRIEF
HOPING TO GIVE HOPE
TO SOMEONE I MEET
TAKING TIME EACH DAY
TO GREET PEOPLE
ALONG THE WAY
FILLING HEARTS WITH LOVE
LOVE FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
GIVING OF MY TIME
A STRUGGLE IN ITSELF
BUT ALWAYS TRYING
AS HARD AND BEST I CAN
TO HELP AND CARE
FOR MY FELLOW MAN
TIMES GET TOUGH
THE STRUGGLE IS ROUGH
BUT I MUST KEEP ON
THE BATTLE MUST BE WON

A COVID 19 KIND OF LIFE
My name is Joye, and I am 70 years old. I have a very compromised immune system, and many risk factors. Even with all of the problems I face, I haven't let Covid 19 get the better of me. During the pandemic I accomplished many things. Through all of my experiences, it has made me stronger as a person.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
