Shades of the pandemic


After being stuck at home for several days 
With an unexpected bout of Covid, 
I doubly appreciate the cheery vista 
That greets me from my kitchen window. 
How delightful, that the flags installed 
To protect the birds can also add 
Such color to our view!
So different from the millions who died
Alone in hospital beds: 
I’m grateful for the scientists
Who developed medications and vaccines
That have made my experience safer 
And more pleasant.
