Covid Lessons
- a Poem
- by Jethro André Jolliffe
For if you are feeling low,
Just know
Some people are there,
Who really care
Some just show,
But are never there
When you need them,
The many most
Some say bye,
To come back tomorrow
Some just leave,
Without a good-bye
Take care and keep in touch,
With all your family and friends
Not those who you call family,
But those from which you feel family
Such times are rare,
The people who tag along
In such times,
Are even rarer.

Happiness is from the present circumstances and the people around you now .
