  1. 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.

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

  22. 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.
