19 Masks of Disappointment

When i was 19 i wish i had a mask to hide my age behind As i thought 19 year's of age was old Now fast forward 19 further long year's along gone Through no choice of my own i am forced to wear a mask again To mask the effects of Covid-19 to be worn at an acceptable social distance In order to protect my 19 month old new born baby And disappointment at not being able to kiss her and tell her 19 times or more Nightey night queen God bless Sweet dreams Daddy loves you more than all the sliced bread in the world that has ever ben baked and sliced

I keep forgetting and run after my screaming grandchidren who are begging me to stop, not wanting to "kill" me. Ugh! I am so over this pandemic nonsense.
