When Covid
has taken its toll
The lives of
our time may have been greatly altered
But goodwill
shall keep us whole.
The times
are strange, yes indeed I must fairly admit
When masked
we must so often be
But the eyes
still sparkle brightly above it all
Will a
vaccine set us free?
Those of us
who live away from the dulling crowds
Are more
fortunate than most
Life seems
almost normal and relatively free
Here on the
Atlantic coast.
But I think
of those people all over this planet
Living locked
in a red zone
Hungering ever
for the company of friends
Far too much
time spent alone.
May we all
reach out, lending a hand or an ear
Even by
phone or email
It doesn’t
take much to give a little relief
Though
masked, we can still lift the veil.
