I was so sensible about the plague . . .
. . . until it hit home!
I read about it, came to understand
it a bit better, followed the news
closely, took all the precautions.
But, finding out that two of my close
friends and my daughter-in-law have
it, has me quaking in my boots. And
our neighbors are awaiting test results
even as we speak.
It's here, it's REAL, it's in our lives;
I'm truly frightened. What worries
me, it's become so commonplace
that we're being haphazard in our
dealings.
Sometimes we forget our masks!
We practice social distancing, but
find ourselves closing in the space
as we converse. We go to town;
we should be staying at home.
As the plague becomes even more
prevalent, let's take a step back and
return to the more cautious ways of
those initial months.
learning real fear
so need to face my demons
hopes prayers not enough
