Summer by Adel J. Cardor

                                     Oh summer, how I love your warm enclosure  How sad I will be when it is over  Seeing kids playing  Your days are never-ending....  Life without you would be such bore  In a classroom with your feet still, on the floor  I go to bed happy as can be  Another fun day tomorrow is guaranteed

Struggles

Twenty four lunar cycles and more

Babble is constant, silence is speech

Most have a ton, none yet we see

Eye contact a taboo

Touch he yearns


Attention span is fleeting

Solitary play unbridled

Evasive maneuvers the rule

Some days are sunny

Most days are dim


Nature or nurture, not one can say

Accident or not

More questions remain

Answers are sparse

Denials appealing


Too early for certain, but differences endure

What can one do?

Shout or scream an option

To cry in silence, what if the tear drum is empty?


Opinions are swell

Entertain hope is all

Despair avoid

Optimists embrace 

Naysayers circumvent

For only time will tell

A burgeoning nation in search  Pervasive feuds, sufferings endured When all seem worthless Living in hope Some dying in expectation as days run into weeks Weeks into months Months into years Outliving over decades, indignity tolerable The pilgrims of old Persevere the holocaust Though an end not sighted, in the smokescreen of life Trusting that someday, the tides will turn The dark gloomy clouds will lift Night will give way to day The sun emerging in its splendor as the dark sky recedes For in the absence of hope What will mankind have? Surely there should be something to live for To strive for To believe in To die for To stand for In the midst of turbulent cascading events  Hope is all

Thanksgiving Cheer

  Thanksgiving is here, an escape provides A time with family, away from isolation, solitary confinement and distressing of thoughts Everywhere we turn the news is ugly The numbers are rising as the death toll is counted In thousands they say, as the systems in place So shaken and stretched as cries for help pandemic 2020 brought in its wake recession and depression Though 2019 to blame Suicides and deaths all time is high Greetings and hugging, conversation of catch up Turkey in season, table talks today Prayers we say for the few times we stay May our hearts rejoice in the midst of this turmoil Grateful for the lives we have and those we saved  Hard to smile when all the chatter is sadness and despair Elections came and went, confusion and chaos predicted but alas, not so much was realized Our souls delight and our hearts be glad  Birth of a new dawn A new year is promised Vaccines are here, almost in time  Next year is upon us, hopeful we remain In all things we g...
