run with it

For, far to long we have run with a sliver of a message,

And not the whole banner.

So,

Cherish life.

Love one another

Defend those in need

And

Make each day count.

Cause,

Life matters!

While many seem to b***h endlessly about whatever politicians are doing and saying, I love what you're saying --> specifically spelling out what we can all do to make life a little better along the way! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Cherrie Palmer]

:) thank you Margie I try and keep things simple.

Spot on, just look around the world, governments in denial, thousands dying.
Even now the halfwits are out spouting freedom as they take the virus back to their families.
Lot of people in graves with lives cut short through short-sighted politicians.

Hello Paul, thank you for reviewing this one. I tried to comment on it last week I guess it didn't load.

[Paul Bell]

I've been putting comments in boxes then getting logged out, bloody annoying. Noticed a few poets moaning about it.

[Einstein Noodle]

yes it does mon cheri ;) slivers turned into viciousness and a manipulative press says i .. eating up political rhetoric with ravenous appetite .. and we get caught up .. with refusal to even look at "the rest of the story" .. well said .. and i agree whole heartedly with the solution your poem offers ..your a sharp cookie my friend .. with a gifted pen as always

If only we could get more people to think this way we wouldn't be getting all of these virus resurgences:( wake up people and see beyond your own noses before you cut it off despite yourselves

I loved this poem, Cherrie! We tend to live with one foot in and one foot out. The world would be a better place if we followed our hearts wholly. It reminds me of a saying my late southern mother quoted, "don't go off half-cocked." Thank you for sharing this poem.-Anthony

Good Afternoon Anthony and thank you :)

A brief but vitally important nudge to folk who just about manage to deal with this wretched time in dark fog pandemic/ But we really do need to look outside ourselves.. to use time sharing, helping, inspiring others and in return.. cope best we can, smile when we can.. and survive because.. it's what we all long for.

Your words really matter, Cherrie. Thank you.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I've been having trouble with my replies not sending. Thank you so much you are a welcome treat that always inspires.

The site is causing problems, sometimes less, other times more. Can be quite infuriating, frustrating and time. wasting. Guess it will be sorted some time or other, maybe technology needs a touch of daffodil yellow and bird.sond! Take care, keep smiling!

[Patricia Wedel]

We do our best to respect others... I am aware of my short-comings; however, I can try again to be more diplomatic. Life is always a challenge, but worth the effort. truly, Pat

[Poetic Beauty]

Life does matter and tomorrow isn’t set in stone. I love the sentiment in this poem

[roarke]

And you would think this is common knowledge. Agreed.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I know, it seems to be the simple truths in life people don't get.

[light and ashes]

Well said and brave write!

[Cherrie Palmer]

Good Morning Light, and thank you
