Poem - Memories of 2020

To order my books:

Memories of 2020

I’m an optimist, but twenty-twenty?

Twas a year full of sorrow.

I remember losing dear friends.

There were plagues, masks, riots, and more riots.

I remember visiting Facebook made me ill.

So much hate; responding to evil with more evil.

Can we be civil to those we disagree with?

Does everyone have to think like we do?

Why are our memories like pernicious fairies?

Fairies that only recall the bitter.

Why is the happy memory fairy,

So hard to find and difficult to capture?

Memories of refocus, that black lives do matter.

Memories of a cry for help and how people responded.

Memories that 155 million people cared enough to vote.

Seeds of a better world watered by tears of 2020.
