Surfing Hard Times! Poem by Long Tooth

Is COVID a trickle or wave you must ride
if you hope to survive (you've got soft underside)
dark times circling below? One might bid you hello!

The young should survive, but for old, it's no joke.
Wear a mask to slow virus, speak 'truth.' don't blow smoke
to stop loss or spread hate (though fear piles on your plate!)

If you get the sniffles, don't hope you die fast!
Don't demand a star's billing (but pray to get cast)
Or define what makes fun! Help what's needful get done!

Connect with old friends, so they see that YOU care,
As God blesses your life, look for things you can share.
And if that's not enough, help new friends do what's tough!

When voters choose leaders, a marriage takes place?
Don't let pain, or their sin, throw poor choice in your face.
With knees flexed, pick your wave, no one wins as a slave!
