QUARANTINE LIFE: POETRY PROMPT---THE ELDERS, part 2

THE ELDERS

All of their voices are stilled now 

But, everything they said, remains

And I can pick and choose the wisest of it all

To join the gratitude my heart contains

For all they were to me 

And find endless reasons to smile 

How would they handle this trying time?

With grace and patience, I'm sure

Waxing philosophically

Sheltering in place, just like me?

Perhaps, but with no fear

You see, they'd weathered so much more

With elegance and style

QUARANTINE LIFE: DETAILS

 

QUARANTINE LIFE: EATS

 

There have been lots of days when I haven’t felt like cooking, didn’t want to order out, but knew that popcorn wasn’t going to do the trick. (Shocking, right?)

Chicken noodle soup to the rescue! But, toss in some mixed peppers, cauliflower (or your favorite vegetable), a pat of butter, and a dash of garlic powder. Make some garlic toast, too. 🙂
