Notes About The Poem

 He is not this sick. I hope we caught it in time to put a halt to it. Sara

Covid

We did the right thing
Tried to stay well
We stayed at home 
At times it felt like a cell

Then a vaccine appeared
We felt set free
The devil worked his magic
And he danced with glee

As he changed the virus
Into another killer
We had felt safe
Now our home has a visitor

COVID 19 Delta Strain
Has entered our home
Husband is sick
Now he won't roam

He sleeps the sleep of flu
Or a severe infection
The doctor loaded him down
With some protection

Cortisone, allergy pills
Cough syrup and more
Antiviral med given to animals
He bought out the store

I hope it is short lived
Because he doesn't do well
When he is quite ill
I might need another place to dwell


My husband was sick yesterday and went to the doctor this morning. He has the virus. Don't have any idea where he got it. I have to go this afternoon for a test but I don't think I have it but I could be harboring the virus which will strike later in a day or two. He has allergies so I thought it was the fact that ragweed has begun to bloom but so wrong a diagnosis. Sara

Anitha Jayasankar August 27, 2021 at 10:41 AM Oh so sorry to hear this Sara... I hope your husband recovers soon.. Stay safe dear friend... Hugs... ~ Ani Sara Kendrick August 29, 2021 at 3:23 AM Anitha, It has been a hard nearly 3 weeks now. My husband developed pneumonia but is now on the mend. We are just weak, exhausted, fatigued, and longing for the day when we regain our old selves maybe improved in our attitudes toward everything life has to offer. Sara

M. L. Kiser August 19, 2021 at 2:38 PM So sorry about his illness; it's a scary thing. With allergies it's difficult to tell when you've got something. Many blessings to you and your husband. I hope it all works out well for him. Sara Kendrick August 29, 2021 at 3:18 AM M.L., Yes, we all have allergies here and it is hard to tell until it hits really hard. The exhaustion is a give away plus some people run a fever and have aches and pains like the flu. It for me is worse than anything I have ever had including the flu that I have had about 3 times in my life. Mine was like the worse viral upset stomach, allergies, and the flu all combined in one big sickness. Thanks for your kindness. Sara

Heidi Sands August 19, 2021 at 11:54 AM Hi Sara. I hope your husband is ok and that you are feeling better :) Sara Kendrick August 29, 2021 at 3:11 AM Heidi, He seems to be getting better from the pneumonia but we are both still very weak, exhausted, fatigued with just a little effort we are left needing to sit down or go to bed. Sara

Harry Horsman August 16, 2021 at 11:41 PM Oh, Hope everything turns out well for you and the family Sara. Sara Kendrick August 25, 2021 at 3:48 AM Harry, Your presence at my page is uplifting. Tommy is still sick and I think the stomach upset part of the illness is starting to hit him. Anyway, maybe today will be the day he starts to get better. Sara

Joseph P. DiMino August 14, 2021 at 2:18 AM Blessings, Sara; I will say a prayer for speedy recovery. Sara Kendrick August 14, 2021 at 2:27 AM Joe, He is better but not well. I did not go to the doctor because I did not feel up to going. Our grandson who lives with us is sick also. I don't know what he has but it could be the stomach version of the virus. Thanks for dropping by and for the prayers. Sara

Delice Arleen Skelly August 13, 2021 at 12:12 PM So sorry to hear this news. The delta variant has taken everyone by surprise at the speed it has spread. The feeling is the vaccination will ease Delta's symptoms. I do hope your husband gets better soon and you do not fall sick yourself. We live in trying times... Stay strong and well Sara my thoughts are with you...Delice Sara Kendrick August 13, 2021 at 12:16 PM Delice, Yes, our state is a hot zone. My doctor said the other day when I went in for my three months check-up that our hospital is back in the red zone. The masks are here to stay for a longer period of time. I appreciate your prayers and thoughts. I am not feeling well but I don't know exactly what is wrong with me and if I am not better in the morning I will go to a clinic here that stays open 7 days a week but it isn't open at night. Thanks for the visit. Sara

DM Babbit August 13, 2021 at 7:49 AM Get well quick. Sara Kendrick August 13, 2021 at 10:57 AM DM, Thanks for the visit. I am sick now but I don't know if it is COVID or just allergies. If not better by in the morning, I will go to a clinic to get tested. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Vijay Pandit August 12, 2021 at 3:11 PM Sorry to hear that, Sara. If I read it right, you both are vaccinated--so the effects should soon pass. My thoughts are with you and your husband. Best wishes. Sara Kendrick August 13, 2021 at 11:01 AM Vijay, Thanks for the kind thoughts. I hope it passes fast. The doctor told my husband to stay quarantined for 10 days. I think I am coming down with something but it could be allergies. Sara

Tom Cunningham August 12, 2021 at 10:35 AM So sorry to hear that Sara, I hope he makes a good recovery. Tom Sara Kendrick August 12, 2021 at 2:42 PM Thanks, Tom for the hope of a speedy recovery. We need all of your prayers as well. Sara

Victor Buhagiar August 12, 2021 at 9:41 AM I am very sorry for you, Sara, "Twould be a pity if you find yourself in lockdown. My prayers with you. Hugs. Sara Kendrick August 12, 2021 at 2:38 PM Victor, We are in quarantine for 10 days. I hope that he gets well soon. I think he already feels better. I think when he takes the anti-virus drug for a couple of days it will wipe it out. Thank you for dropping by. Sara

Sotto Poet August 12, 2021 at 9:26 AM I'm sorry to hear about your husband's illness, and I hope your test results are negative. You wrote an excellent poem describing the events of the last two years. Best wishes and blessings for a speedy recovery and good health. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. Sara Kendrick August 12, 2021 at 2:29 PM Lasaad, I decided not to go get tested until I have some symptoms because there will be a chance or chances of me being exposed even more at the doctor's office. Yes, the last two years have not been easy ones for us and for so many Americans and I can't imagine how bad it has been for the medical people who have had to treat the worst of the illness. Thanks for your visit. Sara

L Milton Hankins August 12, 2021 at 9:19 AM So sorry to hear that your husband is ill with COVID Delta variant. I hope that he is quickly recovered. Thanks for your sharing this with us. Sara Kendrick August 12, 2021 at 2:27 PM Milton, Your visit with understanding is so appreciated. I hope you gets well fast also. We both have had the vaccinations so it should be of short duration and the meds the doctor gave him should help to get rid of the virus. Sara
