Remember This Day

Yesterday I was inspired to film and write this poem as I watched my youngest son play, oblivious to the terrible tragedy that has occurred in our world, and is about to hit our home of Washington state and the rest of the USA so hard. This is the start of my coronavirus journal. My hope is that it gives other people hope. Hang on, you are not alone. Please share….you never know who needs to see this. We are in it together.

So Called Mom

Remember this day we’ll need it tomorrow to drum up the memories that we’ll need to borrow

From talking and laughing and every breakthrough all the growing and learning I’ve looked forward to

Tomorrow will change it will feel like a year and too far from what once felt so near and so dear

But today is the now we can still hang on tight to the brightness that will pass on to a starry night

And so I’ve given you all that I got and it pales in comparison to the joy that you’ve brought

I wish I could promise a different tomorrow to ensure our new memories don’t lead to sorrow

So hold on to this day as the times that you knew life was simple and good and I’ll remember it too
