Every day some thousands more

get their COVID vaccination.

And each new shot in each new arm

adds to hope across the nation.

90,000 people will die

in the few short weeks ahead.

My mind can’t comprehend it.

My soul is filled with dread.

We had a Birthday Party.

It was quite a lot of fun.

We “masked” and “social distanced,”

and when it all was done,

we did a COVID Toe Tap to

express our fond good-byes….

…just a simple birthday party,

and still a nice surprise.

I got my COVID Vaccine!

I lived through my Ordeal!

The process went so smoothly…

….it didn’t even feel!

(And Thanks to All the Kind Staff at Skagit Regional Health)

I feel morose.

I am in despair.

I looked in a mirror and

I saw my hair.

I was in a salon

one year ago.

Now the woman I see –

I hardly know.

The staggering losses continue.

The death toll continues to mount.

I do all I can to contain it.

But, my efforts don’t seem to count.

The death toll numbers stagger.

There’s no solace I can find.

There’s no sense or understanding

in this cost to humankind.

The rampage has no ending.

A “Dark Winter” lies ahead.

The Virus kills amongst us.

400,000 dead.

The horror of this Virus

is too much to comprehend.

The awful death rate rises.

The death toll has no end.

The CDC set guidelines.

I’ve applied them carefully.

I’ve washed my hands.

I’ve worn my mask.

I’ve avoided company.

I’d like to see some Pay Off.

I’d like to find relief.

The death toll keeps on rising.

I’m losing my belief.
