Some things I learned from Covid-19.
Covid-19 has taught me some lessons that make me sad,
Things I would not have known had it not been for Covid-19.
They say hind sight is 20/20, and oh that it so true! Now I see, I took for granted some things between me and you.
I took for granted the kisses you bestowed upon my face,
Kisses that made me feel so safe.
I took for granted the hugs we shared, I would hug you now if I dared.
I took for granted being able to hold your hand, It showed that together we stand.
I took for granted being able to hold you close, Now if we do, we whisper “no one has to know.”
Covid-19 will one day go away, it will take with it the loneliness and isolation, but I pray it never takes the valuable lessons we learned today.
May I never again take for granted the love in kisses, hugs, and holding your hand. For to go without closeness again,
would be more than I could stand.
