So much murder, so much racism, it’s hard to find hope today


Sometimes white is beige

And black is light brown

Sometimes truth is on hold


Sometimes adult is child

And silence is louder

Sometimes young is too old


Sometimes stop is run

And questions are curses

Sometimes badges are gold


Sometimes death is life

And living is dying

Sometimes warm is so very, very, cold

About Mona

I am a wife, mother, and author. I taught high school for 27 years and I was a hospital and hospice chaplain until my health required that I retire. I miss my hospital coworkers and cannot imagine how terrible this year and last year have been. I want to be there for them in at least this small way.
