It’s Friday! What a week. The weather even in Florida weird. Ok enough said about it. I have prayers for all affected by the cold, snow and ice storms. This week has been really sad. Lost a great acquaintance from the 40&8. Not all are COVID related issues these days. Then found another has to have knee surgery; another with a cyst pressing on the spine and yet another back in the hospital after getting COVID at a rehab facility. I could go on but you get the point.
We are almost down to the wire with the Valentine’s words. Yesterday we had LOVE SONGS as the word. I wrote short pieces about how romantic songs trigger memories and sometimes made us sad. THE SINGER and UNTRUTH are part of the sequel pieces today. Terry’s word yesterday was EQUIVOCATE but I used the past tense in the piece.
So far my Lenten act has been well but it’s only day two. Who knows what others decide as they become recipients of my act of kindness. I’m trying hard to be positive around people but it can get hard to shed those negative thoughts. I’m trying hard to see positivity in everyone and situation.
As it is Friday and I’m wearing my red shirt to remember everyone deployed. It has become so natural every Friday but I still post on Facebook to remind people. I realized the other day I own more red shirts (plain, some with writings) dark red, bright red etc...than any other color. Why? No clue.
Today I realize that in the wacky holiday list we are celebrating the day during WWII the Marines landed on Iwo Jima. I made sure to make post on my Amvets Facebook page and my own.
I hope everyone has a good day.
Until tomorrow....don’t forget to wear your red and Stay Safe.

THE SINGER
The singer sang a song by Elvis
Couples took to the floor
belly rubbing dance music
filtered through the room
It didn’t make a difference if the karaoke
singer could carry a tune
All that mattered....the melody....romantic
The man watched his hearts desire
as she held tightly to her dance
partner....swaying slowly to the refrain
Silently muttering to himself
foiled again....I should have asked her
first

SONGS and MEMORIES
Love songs can be in different genres
Songs about romantic love... falling in
love....heartache after breakup.....feelings
how the experiences affect you
At times they can trigger a memory
happy....sad....indifferent
Depends on how you perceive the words
and melody
Some I’d rather not hear again

THE SONG
The song triggered her memory
Tears formed in her eyes
She thought of him every time that song
played
It was the last song they danced to
the night before he told her it was over
It’ll always brought back thoughts of him
and what could have been
☁️ ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
UNTRUTH
He EQUIVOCATED from how he truly felt
Not wanting to wear his heart on his sleeve
Told people he did not care about her
But deep inside his heart ached
If only she’d give him a chance
He’d be on cloud ten

WACKY HOLIDAYS FEBRUARY 18th
(Hate Florida Day; National Crab Stuffed
Flounder Day; National Wine Day and
National Battery Day)
Needing my personal battery recharged
the Pennsylvania weather got me
down
Took a trip to a west coast Florida beach
for some R&R....don’t hate me
Found a great seafood shanty
enjoyed crab stuffed flounder
with a delicious white wine
In two weeks I’ll be ready to face the last
cold days of winter
