Somewhere out there
is a ticket to the here after.
There is more than plenty
for my husband and me.
We’re not quite ready to go,
we’re isolating to avoid the show.
Because when it finds you,
there’s nothing you can do.
When you are of a certain age,
and underlying conditions set the stage
to be a goner.
The virus gives no honor
to who dies,
or survives.
Even if a ventilator could save my hide,
will there be enough for us to divide?
Will they give my vent away
because they can’t save me anyway?
All our days are numbered until we die.
When our time is up, there is nothing else to try.
Under the circumstances I would assume
I should start my goodbye’s before I meet my doom.
Mom and Dad, so sad,
didn’t mean to take you with me, my bad.
To my children of broken heart,
this is not how I planned to depart.
To my friends dear and far
thanks a million, wherever you are.
I hope once in a while
you’ll think of me and smile,
remembering that I was funny,
and just how much I loved my honey.
