Fear, Love, and Hope During Surreal Times
To Covid 19, many still succumb.
We pray for the return of normalcy.
I’ve learned such times bring out the worst in some,
the best in others; kindness is their key.
Some words pack stronger meaning than before.
I thought I’d felt true loneliness and fear.
Then lockdowns came and those I most adore
had Covid. Till they healed, angst lingered near.
At times the solitude has been my friend
and judge. I’ve realized I’m sometimes blind
to others’ plights, to blessings without end,
to nature, and to chances to be kind.
