Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Taking For Granted

Maybe we took for granted, not wearing masks while freely socializing
Maybe we took for granted not worrying, what may happen next
Maybe having the answers to reassure us, didn’t matter so much then
Now, we feel the distance breathing down our necks 
And extra precautions become a daily task, more so than before
As we wonder in these circles of motion, will it ever be the same?
But, are we taking anything for granted now that will be missing later?

Tom Cunningham July 19, 2020 at 4:50 PM Thought provoking Heidi, up until now we have taken so much for granted and many still do but are we going deeper into the abyss?. Tom Heidi Sands July 19, 2020 at 5:01 PM Yes..true Tom...much taken for granted. And truthfully , we are not headed in a good direction or trying enough positive things for a difference to be made. I question the same. I hope all is well. Take care, my friend. Thank you :)
