A year ago our lives were turned upside
Global pandemic was announced
Stay at home order was in place
Please stay six feet away
Wash your hands
Cover your cough
Social distance was a must
Only two weeks turned into months
Frantic set in
Grocery stores were a bust
Shelves were bare
Hoarding was in place
Masks must be worn, covering your face
Many lives have been taken away
Families forced to be seen through glass
Don’t hug or kiss me
Our lives changed in a flash
Countless hours for “essential workers”
Who continue to bust our *****
Curbside, takeout, not accepting cash
Dine in at a restaurant, was a thing of the past
Stress and anxiety become sky high
Not being able to say goodbye
Loved ones scared and alone
FaceTime calls or talk on the phone
Words cannot describe
The fear in our eyes
The unknowing of “life”
Endless change of normal times
Disconnected from our daily lives
A year ago our lives were turned upside down
A global pandemic was announced........
