Sixty-six:

66

Covid-19, like a burglar, slipped in the unlocked 

second-floor window and ransacked our house. 

Next thing you know, we were breathing through 

jello and our lungs became water balloons. 

Now, older people who are fully vaccinated, 

are emerging into spring with the daffodils, 

tilting towards the sunlight, filling restaurants, 

and booking flights! I however remain cautious. 

Like the crocus I see from my window blooming in

the daylight I fold quietly back into my stem at night. 

I am no longer afraid, but not fear free either. 

After a year of carefulness I will continue 

to protect myself,  hug my grandchildren 

and be thankful.
