day 300

 “For you have maintained my

          just cause;” Psalm 9:4a

 

we turn the page

to check the stock market,

and forget the story

about the folks being evicted.

we switch channels

to find the score from

last night’s late game,

never noticing the

lonely child kicking

the football around

in the schoolyard closed

because of the rising cases.

we read the latest

social media posts,

and as our blood pressure

rises,

we forget about mailing

the note to a friend.

 

but

you remember them all

each and everyone
