In memory of your
Faces we no longer see,
Who fought to keep us free,
Souls so brave and true, now gone,
For our freedom we thank you.

Thank You Essentials
The few
Essential ones
Their dedication and
Skills kept us going at night and day
Let’s not
Forget
Their faithful determination
To face fear head on
In such a time
As this

While I appreciate and salute all who served as essentials during COVID-19, I specifically want to dedicate this poem to my grand-daughter Vivian, age 21, who is a care-giver at a nursing home.
Vivian faithfully worked many long and extra shifts to take care of the residents during quarantine.
And also, want to dedicate this poem to my other grand-daughter’s boyfriend, Michael, age 20, who is an auto maintenance worker, earning minimum wage. Micheal faithfully worked many long days and extra hours with no extra raise in wages during this time of pandemic.
Thanks to both of these hard working young people and many others I don’t know.
Let’s remember it was people like this that kept our country going during the pandemic.
Christmas Eve Eve
Holiday tasks done
Nightfall will bring rest
To this weary head
Nothin left to do
But say “Merriest
Christmas” to all of you!

Don’t often have time to say
That I am thankful everyday
For you who visit and say
Kind words, compliments pay
Thanks for things you say
Stars of “Yay”
I will say

Christmas is a special time for me!
Yet I know for some it may not be.
And so at this time of the year,
When my heart is full of cheer,
I want to also acknowledge you,
Who may not be feeling as I do.
Though my wish is bright and clear,
For a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
I want to offer these thoughts too,
Of Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings to you.
And even for those who don’t celebrate,
I do not hesitate,
To wish you well in all you do,
And offer my thanks to you.

And where ever you may be,
I send my heartfelt greetings,
and hope for many more poetic meetings!
