A Christmas Mindset
Face Time is not the same as face-to-face,
but it’s a boon to loved ones far apart.
Phone calls and texts don’t warm like an embrace,
but they can sometimes soothe a hurting heart.
With Covid and the weather holding sway
and loved ones separated by the miles,
at Christmastime, what could they do but stay
at their own homes and long for loved ones' smiles.
With Covid somewhat calm in mid-July,
they flocked to Mom and Dad’s to celebrate
with dishes, loads of gifts, and spirits high,
to sing some carols, feast, and decorate.
