The Pandemic for Me
The best of times and the worst of times
A time for everything
To pray and reflect
To read and relax
To walk and be silent
To listen and hear
To wonder at nature
To plant a new garden
To chat with my neighbors
To text with my friends
To treasure my family
To learn how to Zoom
To yearn for embraces
To mourn for the losses
To search for the reasons
To question and wonder
To grieve the destruction
To fear for the future
But never give up
the hope to recover
