Up close it is blurry
But when you zoom out, grateful
The masterpiece can be seen.
Written 10 May 2020

Enjoy every minute you are alive
Bad as well as the good
Bits of happiness wait to be mined
That make life as it should

They said happiness cannot be bought
Please believe that's correct
Leave me peace and thought
To quietly reflect

Another day
Little things
Say "thank you" and "please"
Feel so up and down like swings
Alone with memories

I say be thankful for all
That is fine if you don't agree
Value each moment
No matter how small
They all hold importance to me
Be thankful every single minute

Risking everything this time
you gave up your personal life
You are scared, but so are your
kids waiting at home along with your wife
The mask is always on and never off
warmth of a hug is what you lack
with this pandemic youre having a stand-off
volunteer or not, we're proud you chose to stay back
Doctors flying in all over the country
it's not just the hippocratic oath, take note
but this is the common enemy
For humanity or peace? actually it's both
when will this nightmare end? said the person comfy at home
while you're out there among this virus and what not!
Don't worry it will get over, you'll get to enjoy it all
So much that if something's missing, you'll know what.
The world is in your debt.
Eu te amo com todo meu coração, 
você simplesmente é uma benção.

Obrigada por tudo que você me deu
e que sempre me entendeu.

Obrigada por tudo que você me ensinou,
por tudo que você me mostrou.

Obrigada por sempre estar ao meu lado, 
e por nunca me deixar abandonado(a).

Obrigada pelo carinho e pela companhia neste caminho.

Obrigada por secar minhas lágrimas e depois de cada chorinho, 
deixar tudo de novo certinho.

Obrigada pelo seu amor que enche o meu coração de cor.

Obrigada por segurar a minha mão
e também cuidar do meu irmão.

Obrigada por me abraçar, me beijar e me cuidar.
Você me mostrou o que significa “amar”.

Obrigada pelas brigas.
Elas me disseram que apesar de tudo somos amigas.

Em dias nublados você precisou lutar,
mas depois da tempestade o sol sempre voltou a brilhar.

Obrigada pela sua coragem e seu esforço durante esta viagem.
Já notou que isso é uma homenagem?

Obrigada por ser você, por ser linda, maravilhosa, inteligente e forte
Tenho uma mãe fantástica e já nasci com sorte!

Dizem que não há amor maior do que o amor de uma mãe, e é verdade.
mas esqueceram que uma filha pelo amor da mãe cresce em paz, gratidão e liberdade.

Não existe pessoa que merece mais estas minhas palavras do que você.

Hoje sou uma mulher jovem, bonita e inteligente.
mas o que disso tudo eu seria sem você presente?
Pois tudo que eu sou, eu devo a você.

Obrigada mamãe.

And they
danced and sang in jubilation
although all was not well
they were grateful for every morning
their eyes were greeted by the sun
and that alone was reason enough
for celebration

You're gone
Not here
Left me there,
To deal with this fear
Never saw this day coming

I'm too blind to accept
You're not here anymore;
I drove you
Away from my heart.

Not intentional but I did
Hurt you, yes
Regret, I do
Now it's just me.

I'm alone out here,
I miss you
I miss us
This feeling; just not right

It's like we don't exist anymore
It's just you
It's just me
You do you,
I do me
Not cute but life

This hole left here,
You pierce and pierced
Am I alive?
I guess I am
Without amygdala I must

But wait
Here, my heart
Take it
Just take it
I damaged yours
And that's just it
You deserve it
Now you're probably gone
Inspired by my father figure after I nearly lost him.

For what my father did to me,
at the very least
was not
what his father
had done to him.
