Life
This path
it is not always easy.
The last few years especially
as we have learned how to
move through life being masked
not seeing people’s faces,
and not knowing who we could trust
being around and who we could not.
Students struggled through school
and then could not attend proms
or graduation ceremonies
other than on zoom.
Familiar life markers disappeared.
People lost employment and
companies had to pivot
just to keep their businesses alive.
Other industries emerged
and became household names
and continue to grow and evolve today.
In the midst of all these changes,
people died.
Those voids remain today with
empty chairs around the tables.
The C word used to be about cancer,
then it became about Covid.
We pretend as if it is gone,
but for some it never will be.
So many places I go still require masking
and I still mask even if its not.
I cannot risk being exposed
and I will not risk dying.
Life is not easy,
but nobody promised it would be.
Nobody promised me a rose garden,
just an adventure filled life
that would be more like a roller coaster;
a crazy ride I would be on forever,
until I got off
and gave thanks for all the adventures
in my life.
