A Covid Winter

It’s official - winter’s here,
With lots of things to bug us -
The cold, the dark, the snow, the ice
And this year, none to hug us.

Of course, there’s also coziness
Indoors with hearths and cocoa 
Except this year when all this
Inside time will drive us loco.

A Covid winter won’t be like
All others, I’m supposin’
But most of us would much prefer
To be with friends and frozen!

I would love to be with people but fear keeps me at home. I am glad we do not have your snow.

This is great Ilene, and so very true it's message is there for us to plainly be reminded of and adhere to today's norms 'And this year, none to hug us' Be well and safe, enjoy the few days left of the Festive season and of course Boxing Day tomorrow. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
