Ninety Three

Her friend is in the room next door 
Can't see her they won't allow it anymore 
At ninety three she's considered so wise
Now tears are streaming from her eyes

The nursing home she lives follows guidelines 
Doesn't want the risk of any massive fines
Keeping everyone safely two metres apart 
Will break for sure a ninety three year old heart

Her family visit her maybe twice a week 
Masks on their faces its difficult to speak 
What will happen if I reach ninety three 
Will anything be left for me to hear and see

A work that truly reveals the desperate times we find ourselves in right now. I hope you also write a companion piece that breathes of new aspiration, new inspiration for the better times that are sure to come. Well written piece my friend and fellow poet.
