Happy Spring, my friends! It’s finally warm again and the lilacs are once again in bloom. Sadly, occasionally, there’s no pleasing some people. The following is a testament to that notion. Take care and stay well, my friends. Stash
A Letter To God
Dear God,
After the long, dark, frosty months of winter…
Of icy winds blowing snow into window high drifts…
Of shoveling daily, like an exile in some Siberian gulag…
Of chilled to the bone days and heating pad nights…
Of sleeping in sweats and doubling the bed’s quilt…
Of white knuckle driving on slick icy avenues…
Of slush filled curbs and endlessly soaked socks and shoes…
Of a premature darkness that arrived ever so early in the afternoon…
Of a drab world colored only in shades of dirty gray…
Spring has finally arrived… and with it…
Pollen filled breezes
And countless sneezes.
Budding roses
And runny noses.
Little bird cries,
Red, itchy eyes.
Robin songs sung
And tired, wheezy lungs.
Now, not that I want to be picky…
About the seasons and Your weather,
But Jeez-Louise!
I really think that if You try Lord,
That You might be able do a little bit better.
I’m not asking for favors
And You know I’m not big on prayin’
But don’t You think that
You could get just one season right?
I mean no offense, God… I’m just sayin’…
Your Buddy, Your Pal,
Stash
