Hither and Yon

The life I was living has gone
Off to hither and thither and yon,
Though I’m trying my best to make do
With whatever it takes to get through.

So I read and I read and I read,
Which provides some escape that I need
And I FaceTime or chat with my friends,
Which I’ll do ‘til this craziness ends.

And I walk, play some games, watch TV -
Keeping busy to me is the key – 
But I hope that as time marches on,
Life comes back here from hither and yon.

I'll be keeping hope alive that "Life comes back here from hither and yon." Wonderful poem with much truth. Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply
