Adaptation

Loneliness and memories of past pleasant times
Crash on my mind like tidal waves on the shore.
Isolation induced by God or karma
It makes no difference to me which one
Is the creator of my state of being.
At least there were times of comfort and peace
Covered warm in the blanket of friends.

This time brings My mom,my husband and child.
An intense awareness and gratitude
For the blessing of family
That so far has not been taken away.
I must have done something right
That I am safe in the knowledge and stability
Of my little family
With my returning acts of kindness.

I hope each of you are safe and warm
In whatever state you find yourself.
One absolute is change.
I hope we can all adapt to it well.
Surprisingly,my handicapped daughter can
better than I.
Stay well.
God bless you.
