flight of dreams
were they to avoid sky
could they still fly

for good ole days

If only everybody would act sensibly when a crisis such as Covid threatens. Sadly there will always be those that ignore the danger and put their own and others lives at risk.

Rosemary Nissen-Wade said...

Sensible child! And sensible grandmother too, obviously, for encouraging this.

"flight of dreams / were they to avoid sky / could they still fly" -- good question. If our dreams avoid flight, we are sadly grounded.

C. Sandlin said...

This -- both of these -- are beautiful.

Lovely and wise Gillena! Thank you for your well wishes of safety. I am feeling much better today. I got my second vaccine and it knocked me off my feet quite literally. 💙

Sounds like a sweet visit.

Glad your granddaughter can visit you and like the top collage.

Beautiful troiku. Yours last week inspired me to write one also.

Jim said...

Again pretty cards, Gillena. I like your 'flying' poem and how you worked it in with the vaccine items. Mine was a child wishing to fly, to fly away.
