Sickness

Sickness


The world is sick

We all stay home

Inside 

I am a child sleeping 

Under my mother’s

Watchful eye

    1. Thank you. Even when feeling well it's hard not to feel a little sick of it all.

  2. I'm with Khaya, the ominous tone of this poem perfectly describes the current state of things.

    1. Thank you. I had a moment of both being a mom and watching over my kids but at the same time wanting my own mother to watch over me and then wanting to comfort the world and feeling very tired. *sigh.
