Wave From the Grass

There's anger afloat in the air; folks are dying from lack of care. Those in intensive care fear death; no ventilators; out of breath. Old folks under strict quarantine; now, wait for a cure or vaccine. Triage is a tricky process; some value older lives far less. Thank God we're not all so callous; as to treat seniors with malice. I love to hear the crowds cheering the nurses for volunteering. If we don't let fear divide us; together, we'll beat this virus. Hug your grandparents through your phone; don't let them think they're all alone. Remember, love passes through glass when families wave from the grass.

Emile, a poignant reminder of the most vulnerable during this worldwide crisis, not only vulnerable to the virus but to the tragedy of feeling neglected or forgotten. Also the heartbreak of those who wish to visit their loved ones but are not allowed to. Congratulations on your #1 placement ~ John

... that last couplet sum it's up quite nicely ... what a stark image! Yes, it's a shame people would view older people as being lesser; it's a trying time for everyone. I have my own view that things, perhaps, could have been handled better (use our resources to protect the vulnerable and high risk, while still keeping the world economy afloat, perhaps). But it's as easy thing to criticize the past when were in the fog-of-war, and things become clearer now...

Have faith Timothy, you are making the right decision, your grandma knows why you don't visit her and that means everything to both of you my friend, Emile.

CONTINUED: My grandma wishes me to visit her (I don't think she has high concern for the virus), but I have to tell her no because I don't want to unintentionally get her sick. I guess it's a tough kind of love ... but I think it's the right call (I hope).
