RHYS BOWEN: It's been an awful week, hasn't it? My stomach still hasn't stopped churning. Every hour a new piece of bad news. So I thought I'd end a week that was difficult for me to find uplifting and calming posts with a song. Enjoy.
A SONG FOR THE TIME OF COVID
My Favorite Things—a Covid Song.
Zooming with grandkids
And Facetime with daughters
Long bathtime soaks in
Delicious hot waters
Reading good books and
The pleasure that brings
These are a few of my favorite things
Walking in nature
With time to observe
Home exercising with
Vim and with verve
Zooming with choir
And the strangely weird sings
These are a few of my favorite things
More Zooms with bookstores
And bookclubs and friends—swell
Trying new recipes,
( not all work out well)
But sharing with spouse
And the comfort that brings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Hoping for vaccines
And longing for travel
Dreaming of days
When I’ll no more unravel
Hugs for my dear ones
How lovely that rings!
These are a few of my favorite things.
When I’m lonely
Isolated
I’m depressed and mad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad.
Finishing my week with optimism. Things will get better. Things are getting better. Vaccines will come. We will get through this and all meet again at a mystery convention where we will hug each other.
