We expected to be living
today, from hand to mouth,
suffering through winter,
with no means to travel South;
-
Wrapped in blankets to survive,
the bitter cold and snow.
Cleanliness would be a problem;
what we'd eat we didn't know.
-
January 1 arrived in sunshine,
there was food for each of us,
the heat kept on a heating,
and we questioned all the fuss.
-
We'd let the media upset us,
and cause us to live in fear,
of the dreaded year 2000,
just like any other new year.
-
My computer is still working,
as are my lights and telephone;
lots of food in my freezer,
and my dog even has a bone.
-
I'll not listen to the doomsayers,
or seek out my horoscope.
My God is in His Heaven,
which fills my heart with hope.
