Year of Uncertainties

It has been a year of uncertainties.
Fears of Covid have paralyzed the land.
It caused me to face insecurities.
I feel stuck in invisible quicksand.

When will this horrible pandemic end? 
Life is no longer ordinary; there are too,
Many lives lost that I can’t comprehend. 
This global intruder has to just go.

There’s a ray of hope on the horizon. 
Scientists could have a remedy soon.
We’ll finally get the chance to have fun,
Then I can leave my indoor cocoon.

I hope that the vaccine is the real deal,
And the whole universe can begin to heal.

How I agree with you my dear friend, we need to get back to normal, and the vaccine is our only hope, I don't think we really have an option, although many are not enamored by taking this vaccine. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

We can be certain of idiots! This morning, our Mayor - a jogger - says its OK for people to be outdoors without a mask providing they keep a distance of six-feet away from everyone else. What sidewalk permits anyone to pass a pedestrian at a distance of six feet? Is there a vaccine for idiots on the horizon? Aloha! Rico
