For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Many months you carried me,
All the while, so lovingly.
As a babe you held me dear,
Your loving voice I could hear.
As a child, you taught me well,
You picked me up, when I fell.
You would wipe away each tear,
Showed me I had naught to fear.
When a child, you held my hand,
Then you taught that I could stand.
You showed love, that I could see,
This is the way, it should be.
You taught much, I’ll not forget,
Though you’re gone, I love you yet.
Β©2020 Steve McLeod.

That’s good, nothing happening here yet, still too many new cases every day. Maybe by the end of the month.

I agree. We are slowly opening areas: parks, apparently beaches are open. But cases have not slowed down

I’m waiting for the parks to open, but that won’t likely be for another month yet.
