Seasons & People

I didn't entirely enjoy rainy days-

Never wanted my hair frizzy

and shoes dirty

My mother warned me that I'll appreciate it's worth after they are gone

Wasn't fond of winters either-

Never wanted to feel anything cold

and drive through the foggy road

My mother warned me that I'll appreciate it's worth after they are gone

Summers weren't any different-

Never wanted sweat stains on

and step out in the sun

My mother warned me that I'll appreciate it's worth after they are gone

Summer of 2020 was a roller coaster 

We never wanted to ride,

The deadly virus- we fight and hide

Loved ones- my family lost in the blink of an eye

What wouldn't we trade to re-write the summer of 2020

My mother was right- we only appreciate seasons (and people) after they are long gone
