Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

These Masks Are a Godsend To Me

My heart is skipping down the sidewalk
But my feet are refusing to move
Arthritis is ruining the liveliness 

My joy is apparent to those who know me
It matters not to thousands of others
I cannot laugh any more though, too many teeth are missing

In a way these masks are a Godsend to me.
I can smile or even stick out my tongue
and do not have to suffer the repercussions.

L Milton Hankins December 23, 2021 at 9:33 AM I know that feelings, Caren, and it is so true. I can't figure out why people are so opposed to masks! They are a godsend to many of us.
