Pandemic Story
The synagogues are empty now
We only hear a little Torah on Zoom
We wear masks to go inside anywhere
take them off at the Y when exercising
Had my temp checked at the doctor’s
even though my follow-up visit
was unrelated to Covid
Missed my visit back east for Passover
Don’t know if I’ll see my family again this year
May even miss Gert’s 100th birthday.
People are angry
I am sad, not angry
Politics are getting very nasty this year
How long will we wait for good news . . .
We’ve been praying for Moshiach for years
I keep hoping for some positive news
I know there are good people out there
Even after reading sci-fi books and stories
for many years,
I did not see this disaster as happening
I’ll go back to my books and painting
keeping my imagination positive
grateful for what I do have now
