Morning

Morning

Morning is woken

Blackbirds fly

Sheets a rumpled

Blue skies meet the eye

Sunshine seeps through

Sparrow sings a song

Squirrels walk the line

Wind plays along

Leaves are a rustling

Cobwebs in my shoes

Geckos in the wardrobe

A room filled with news

Drawers a weeping

Clothes in deep slumber

Infections rising

Counting the number

Deliveries keep coming

Groceries to plunder

Masked men hovering

Housewives in wonder

Hope for the morrow

On land and on sea

Life’s filled with sorrow

Please set me free

UPLIFTING EXCHANGE

SENSES - by Kerima Musafer

God's blessed me with eyes

so I could clearly see

My nose..that I should not poke

Into affairs of others but just

mind my own business

A tongue...that will all ills revoke

Ears..to be a good listener

Deaf to other's faults

He's blessed me with hands

 to lift up and praise him

For my brain that issues commands

For the prudent use of my senses

My, Eyes, Ears, Mouth, Nose and Hands

Exchanging words:

"Think twice before you utter
Words that cause another pain,
Words once uttered really matter
As they cannot be taken back again."
