Sometimes

Sometimes, 

I look at the weather, noticing,

Not only what is happening here,

But also, what it's like up there,

So far away.

Some days,

I think about sharing the joys and challenges

Not only the adorable things

But also, Zoom chats, Duo calls

That connect us.

Some people,

Told me this would get easier,

Not only would I grow to accept the loss,

We would grow to understand,

Time would help. 

Yet,

We are still struggling,
We are seeking peace,

We are reminded
Hold tight to
Family, friends,
Sunrises.
