It's grief, they say, this anxious ache, You miss the things you used to take For granted. Kids at school, recess at play. You in the office, day after day. Barbecues, weddings, party tents. The world when it used to make sense. The new world has too many rules. Stay at home; don't go to school. Social distance, mask your face; Pray for mercy and a little grace. Miss the hugs, the getting and giving. Keep your old among the living.
I can't believe that I'm doing this. I'm blogging. I'm a pretty private person. For instance, when I worked at Blockbuster Video in 1995 I was 18 years old and refused to pick my favorite movies for a row of "Jean's Picks". I simply didn't want people knowing my favorite movies. At that time, as is true with most teenagers, I was more self-conscious than I am now. Now I'm going to air out all of my dirty laundry.
