Almost a Baby Boomer: Covid Season

Wednesday, October 21, 2020

Covid Season

Sun snuggling closer to earth,

Nights blanketing the day.

Another season passes

Leaves tumbling from the trees,

Hummingbirds have packed their bags.

Another season passes

Wearing sweaters in the morning,

Needing another blanket at night.

Another season passes

Still isolating from the plague,

Missing family celebrations.

This season never passes.

Wanting to hug church friends,

Missing smiles on masked faces.

This season never passes.

Trips are cancelled,

Lunch with friends on Zoom.

This season never passes.

Leaders not leading,

Hospitals filling up again.

This season. . . . .please pass.

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall

A year passes

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
