Quarantine

Crocus stands outside my door, sunshine-snow falls to the core
Robins tweet the sound of spring, reminders of what beauty brings
Green and yellow soon will roll, upon the hills of evermore
Unbroken chain and melody, nature teaches humanity

Doctor Doctor hold my hand, give us all the perfect plan
Nurse of mercy she will be, on her feet for you and me
Collect the garbage, wash and wipe, nobs and handles need a swipe
Stock the shelves now, keep the peace, teach the children from your seat

Toilet paper wipes and cans, stockpile, check out, move that hand
Online, curbside, stop the greed, offer help for those in need
Old folks, babies, chronic pain, choose to not forget the name
Flour yeast and rice to hoard, sown of mercy from the Lord

Tulip green erupts from soil, real ones always true and loyal
Moon in glory casts the shine, days gone by do come to mind
Remember me games never end, same old illness new found friend
Brother sister look no more, help the weak protect the poor

    Not too bad, Lyn! I am looking forward to my first curbside pick-up of groceries tomorrow; that may be a new normal for us! Everyone is well. How about you and yours?

      We are good and reminds me of living in Saudi honestly. No products, no going out etc.
      
      We get pick up at Walmart and have for awhile. I’m so glad you are taking walks as a family that is so cool.

    Yes, still following the guidelines. I don’t think I know what “normal” is any more! 🤪🥴
