The serene stillness

Just words and Ayla Nereo song.

The serene stillness

Busy life, work and no play Johnnie.

He learn life is more than seeking money.

In the serene stillness,

he remember his daughter laughter,

her love of butterflies.

He remember the father and daughter dance,

now just a photo,

the most loveliest of photo he owned.

Now he teaches his grandchildren the dandelion wishes,

he showed them the wildflowers fields and

the great lakes of Michigan.

He taught them to dance with the water and

make ladybugs wishes.

The serene stillness teaches us,

life blessings are the laughter of children,

hearing the words of dear grandparent gone.

I told my children,

do one thing daily that you enjoy,

find something you love and keep it forever.

Life is unstoppable and we must ensure,

we know the kindness of love blessings.

I pray today,

healing for family,

healing for my world.

I pray our government understand,

we are not just numbers on a death board.

We are people with names, families and we are a part of this world.

Today Johnnie learn,

the coronaviras is true and I pray.

We keep the distance rule and we stay at home.

One life lost because of making profit for big business,

is the wealthy man greatest sin.

Thank you for reading,

be careful, be safe.

Stay home if you can.

'The serene stillness'
Coyote Poetry,
Your posting Ayla Nereo's 'Tightrope walker' song is a helpful tool to bring to the table with this poem above which you have posted. Serene Stillness is a great theme to the fragility and strength together of life. Looking out for our elderly during this time of 'holding in place' is on my mind. The economy is important and there is only so much we can do to change what is going on, but.....
but I feel like how much of what is in the media can be trusted. So much fear even anger, even you name it . So many differing opinions and motivations. So I am with you. Prayer. God you know the beginning from the ending. We don't. We need wisdom, patience, hope. The whole world and us too.
Thanks for a beautiful and winsome sharing dear Coyote.
Blessings,
Kathy

They open up Texas. 1000 had died in a week. Big business don't care about the workers. Profit first. I pray we use comment sense and ensure we protect the sick and the old. Thank you dear Kathy for reading and the comment. Here in Detroit, don't post names. Only the daily count.

Coyote,
We are in an interesting time. It takes patience for sure. Sad and sobering the statistics. Challenging sometimes to make sense of what the media gives. Nice to hear from you as always. Take care and stay happy and healthy.

I told my children,
do one thing daily that you enjoy,
find something you love and keep it forever.

Greatest thing for us to do, Is talk to our children and keep them safe.
This is wonderful thank you for sharing this
