Solemn days
I woke today knowing
there would be no hug for Mother’s Day
I hope the smile on my face
would be a reminder of times gone by
Having kept my distance, I walked home
and put myself in lockdown
Hands clean, I restrict my movements
To shopping for food
Count down the days
Until I can hug my wonderful mother
I call her that evening
To blow kisses down the line…
