I became a person
I was not
When I said,”Yes”
At the altar.
In my twilight years,
In my solitude,
When I was
No more a green girl
In a world
Of social distancing
And self isolation,
I reverted back
To the undomesticated,
Totally oblivious me.
But years have added
Grains of wisdom
And I am, no more,
Totally clueless.
I have come to relish
Sweet memories
Of love and romance
Of yesteryears
And the filial
And sibling bonds
Crisscrossed
With maternal
And grandmaternal
Cares and doting.
Oh, how well described feelings in this strange time of caution and self isolation to protect ourselves and those we love. Liz
