Miracle In December
A Poem
I’m thankful for the light of day
My pulse racing against my breath
Covid still raging
Hope looming for a glorious ending
My life walked steadily to day’s end
From rounds of toils, and some joys
Infecting beings met along with love
Freely received and freely given
I’ll recline raising hands in victory
A breaking triumph for humanity
Clipping covid’s wings with a vaccine
Unmasking smiles; bridging divides
A new dawn is so close in sight
Dark clouds making room for sun and stars
Evaporating fears of the pandemic
At last, Twenty-twenty speaks blessings
