Poetry Prompt: holiday & winter intentions
Intention
A universal plea
Uncertain are these times
Individuals overwhelmed
And struggling families
The virus is still rampant
Few hospital beds available
Congregations virtually meet
Travels taking backseat
Wear a mask when outside
Stay home if possible
So — Setting the intention
for the universe
To help and to remind
Go that extra mile
Choosing Hope and Kindness
In actions and our thoughts
For Snow is on the ground
Santa is surely on zoom calls
Making holiday plans.
Join for Holiday Prayer and Cheer!
