Wishes

What I wish for is kindness and care
What I hope for is understanding
Working together to bring us 
Freedom acceptance and loving
As we join together to support
To survive the difficulties of life
And weather human greed, 
Teach each other about beauty 
And survival accept our strengths
Our differences, weakness, and
To plant seeds and life, train animals,  
Watch and care for bees, water the world
Develop medicines, while some nail boards
Hospitals and homes I wish for kindness
In a sigh, we lost our distant neighbor quietly 
Now he is gone wife and dog blocks away alone
Tomato plants uncared for weeds grown 
So much gone while I hoped for kindness and care
But all now is quiet I wished I had known

The feeling of not being totally healthy affects the mind of any sufferer. I can relate. Be strong, be safe, but I know it's easier said than done. My best wishes.
