Laura Shovan hosts our Poetry Friday today HERE at her blog with a reflection of Amanda Gorman and an invite you won't want to miss! Thanks, Laura!
Postcards in the mail continued to offer hugs for me in these recent weeks.
First, a celebration from Wednesday. Most thoughts for the future lie with my grandson, Carter and my granddaughters, Ingrid and Imogene. I am hopeful they will remember this time and enter the world as fighters for justice for everyone, for America and for the world. Many of us worked hard to make good change for them and I am proud of all who did especially in this strangest of years of the Pandemic and political conflict.
You might see that I gave tribute to Amanda Gorman's final words of her poem. You can read the full text here. It was a precious ending to the ceremony.
