After my Freedom Day
The day I went out to a cafe
After very long lockdown
I cannot forget to have gratitude
For the doctors, front line workers
Scientists, developers
Researchers
I would not be free without them
The vaccine has helped
To stem my fears and anxiety
My worry
About the virus
I am grateful and in awe
Of what was done
In such a short time
To be able to create it
To administer it
I can go out now
Carefully
It’s not over yet
But in a way I am free
For the first time in more than a year
I am grateful
