SPREADING OUR WINGS

JEGJan2022

For 2 long years we’ve been living this way Restrictions & lockdowns day to day While cut off from the world we had a good run But when borders were opened Omicron won Highly contagious & out of control In all walks of life it’s taken its toll Shoppers frustrated with what they can grab Thankfully most of us have had the Jab While once it was rare to know someone infected Now coughs & fevers are highly suspected

Life carries on although with a mask May it soon be over is all we can ask Throughout the turmoil when patience was tried Nothing could beat just going for a ride So long restricted to our Sunny State Now the borders are open, do we hesitate? So many variants & so many unknowns Check-in apps on all of our phones Like a fledgling starting to spread its wings Excitedly nervous with what the future brings
