HOLY/HOLIDAYS 2020

ARC Holy/Holidays (C) 11/19/20

 

Holy/Holiday 2020 salutation time:

annual greeting in rhythm and rhyme.

Pandemic transformed our way of life:

universal kith/kin - heartache and strife.

 

Nation’s populous/reputation suffered:

leader lacked wisdom/high morality to lead.

Rejoicing majority realized needed to shift gears:

faith/hope/integrity/moral empathy overcame fears.

 

I am saluting 46^th President Elect Joseph Biden;

exultation we fired misogynist raciest Poseidon.

Hurray VP Elect Kamala Harris christening history:

praying all kith/kin embrace American community.

 

John Anthony excelling helping others:

luminary serving spirit `all’ sisters/brothers.

He made table dividers outside bridge social play:

pandemic verve energized eight peers Wednesday.

 

Scanned kith/kin photos traversing memory lane:

poignancy ache conjuring sweet caressing rain.

Our universal crisis beckons all to take stock:

look in mirror - am I chaff or like Peter rock.

 

Daughter Esti gave me vintage gift MacBook Pro:

storage challenge had to wean 20K files to and fro.

Writing/file organization dominate technical work:

social concern activism is nonstop: do not shirk.

 

Esti’s mother Rachel traversed to sweet by and by:

ill several years - now splendid with heavenly alumni.

Laura celebrated thirty-five years with In-N-Out:

management gave her incredible Zoom party tout.

 

 

Daughters bought new home with large yards:

I love reading to grands Zev/Ava – playing cards.

Esti expanded bakery new clients/location:

adding `Ally's Amazing Kosher Deli Creation’.

 

Covid has worn universal kith and kin out:

we mourn loss of so many not with us anymore. 

Front line workers I salute indefatigable life-force:

may God guide/inspire us all upcoming 2021 course!

Hallelujah, our 46^th President is Joseph Biden; 

 

Kamala Harris christens history as first woman VP –

 

country will heal – succeeded in firing human Poseidon.

 

 

My prayer has and will be for peaceful unity;

 

Democrats role modeled grace over Bush and Gore –

 

please Republicans reciprocate for American community.

 

 

I am beseeching us all to do what you can;

 

support new administration with action/prayer –

 

role model America’s best woman/man.

 

 

Our words right for over two hundred years;

 

walking talk progress has had dangerous setback –

 

luminary majority recognized apocalyptic fears.

 

Now, it is time for A Renaissance Covenant;

 

we, together, side by side, walk the talk –

 

saluting the best in our democratic government.

AVA

 AVA

 

I have a beautiful granddaughter Ava;

 

she is sweet, and as loving as can be:

 

November 6, birthday, now three.

 

 

When I visit, first I get really big hug;

 

then we play with magnetic blocks:

 

she dances on tiptoes without socks.

 

 

My favorite is when we read books;

 

we do the pictures/words together:

 

also go for walks in nice weather.

 

 

Ava has the best Eema and Mommy;

 

she loves brother Zev; they go to school:

 

also special is when family goes to Schul.

 

 

Her birthday also celebrates new home;

 

has front/backyard lots of space to play:

 

Hashem, please bless Ava in every way.

SON

                                                Thank you, dear son, John Anthony:

 

I am blessed/grateful for your loving care.

 

We are so much alike yet uniquely opposite too:

 

may God enrich/heal/comfort you is daily prayer.

 

Sometimes we clash, do not mix like oil/vinegar:

 

our passion defines us, not lukewarm like tepid water.

 

We both ideally hold truth/justice/integrity as one:

 

no building/philosophy but divine is our Alma mater.

 

He is an extraordinarily talented renaissance man:

 

multi-talented in education, versatile in eclectic skills:

 

Honor/duty inspired at 18 to serve USA Army:

 

modern Don Quixote does not tilt at windmills.

 

He has experienced multi winters in five decades:

 

PTSD from military conflict, loss of best friend.

 

But spring/summer/fall outnumber pain/sorrow:

 

he easily goes out of dots to rise above/transcend.

 

He is a phenomenal family man esteemed by all:

 

kith/kin delight in his respect and companionship.

 

I, as his mother, give testimony of high praise:

 

my son is top caliber, synonymous with blue chip.
