Encroaching
Throughout the land, in every home,
Thanksgiving is approaching
But this time other issues
Sadly seem to be encroaching.
To those outside the bubble
There’ll be faces framed on Zoom
And all will then pretend
That they’re together in the room.
Some gatherings will be outdoors
With heaters put together
To stave off what is typical
For late November weather.
Unfortunately, many
Will now celebrate alone,
For some, the only solitary
T-Day they have known.
It’s really just another day -
If that’s the way we view it
Then somehow we can take a breath
And manage to get through it.
