Sparkle

My sparkle is gone some days I fear

I blame 2020 – it’s been quite a year.

I had all these plans for when time is my own,

but I’ve had to give up – and to that I’m not prone.

Will my sparkle come back when this pandemic ends?

Will I make new habits and find new friends?

So far, I’m just stuck and my wheels are spinning

as I’m looking to start my new beginning!

 

Life These Days

Corona virus arrived in 2019 and

turned the world upside down.

Life may never be the same.

2,932,596 cases in the US – 130,133 deaths.

It terrifies me that something unseen is so dangerous.

Stay home, wear a mask, and avoid crowds.

Missing family time, missing my grandchildren,

worrying about my husband and me.

Praying, thinking, getting lost in my own mind.

I feel like life is on hold – no one knows when it will

get back to some semblance of normalcy.

Only time will finish the untold story…
