Waiting for My Booster Shot

Although days were dark,

Now they are brighter.

The sun is peeking through the clouds of despair.

The weight of worries

Has become lighter.

At least we're starting to become more aware.

Sometimes it seemed

That time had stood still.

Let's hope all our efforts do not come to naught.

We're moving on;

In the meantime, I will

Be waiting for my COVID booster shot.

 

We know vaccines

Offer protection.

We can cut down on both sickness and death.

As lives are saved,

See the connection.

Those who worry, stop and take a deep breath.

It's hard to fathom

So much resistance.

Why deny a means that can help us a lot?

With my mask

And a safe social distance,

I'm waiting for my COVID booster shot.

 

I still have hope

That knowledge can save us--

That we unite with the same motivation.

If we all used

The brain nature gave us,

We could quell the spread of misinformation.

Doing what's right

Shouldn't be hard.

Everybody ought to give that some thought.

I'll do my part

And be on my guard,

While waiting for my COVID booster shot.
