Friday Writings -- My Eyes Have It

Thinking of my smile -- 

As I write here double imprisoned 

Imprisoned by my circumstances 

Imprisoned by the law,  

I must stay in my cell made of walls * 

Thinking of my smiles, have never hid 

Gramps called me Smiley, I was the kid 

And then I learned to wink 

My smiling eyes tell my story well 

A wink and a smile, my way to flirt 

Known I flirt a lot, eyes tell on me 

Now we're all wearing masks 

My eyes smile, wink, girls smile and wink back 

* My wife and I at this time are truly imprisoned in our room, quarantined for having COVID-19.   We both are fully vaccinated, have had our booster shots, and wear masks.  Not the way to spend our Sabaticals.  ETO for recovery will be about another week.  We would appreciate your prayers.   Thank you.

Word List -- Declaration Enforced

  The Announcement 

Angel's were beckoning 

The choir was singing 

Violins played the tune 

Unmuted trumpets blared 

loudly, 

announcing the news 

Good news -- 

Peace on earth was declared 

All the gods in the world 

Together melted swords 

Froze the guns, dulled the knives 

Best of all they Declared 

The Golden Rule to be 

ENFORCED

 - I am still on Sabbatical but my gracious  jailer has now allowed me to have some limited Wifi.  Still under lock and key though. That said I'm hoping to be able to return comments. NO mail though and one phone call a day.  Guess who I call.
