LITTLE BILLY OBSERVES THE SOCIAL DISTANCING

“One day I was counting the cats and I absent-mindedly counted myself.”

MY PRAYER FOR YOU – Alisa Turner

 

Little Billy falls asleep

do you remember he cannot speak

but still he tries to tell the others

keep the distance sisters and brothers

 

Chloe and Harry fall asleep

unaware of Little Billy's speech

they are comfy; they are warm

safe indoors and free from harm

 

Today was such a sunny day

they spent a long time out to play

I saw a pair of Goldfinch birds

not seen them here before or heard

 

And I saw a butterfly

a sign of hope then with a sigh

he flew away above the hedge

but left behind him the sweetest message

 

The skies are blue and clear today

but for a few wispy clouds across the bay

I really had a lovely time

in my gardens so sublime

 

I pray for you that you will be

always safe and always healthy

and if my words only reach just one

then my eyes will light up with the sun

 

and know my purpose here on Earth has only just begun …
