By no fault of yours
I know how bad
It has been for you
In the last six months
It has brought cancer
With nose surgeries
Self imposed isolation
By no fault of yours
Not wishing to cause
Any discomfort to others
And I have to apologise
I wasn’t there to help you
Through it all.
I had my own demon to care
If that is an acceptable excuse
Then at the turn of the New Year
You learnt you had lost your job
And the cash flow it generated
Once again by no fault of yours
And now by the simple fact
You went to welcome your daughter
Back home, so happy she was safe
You find yourself in self-isolation
Covid-19 being the culprit
By no fault of yours.
Should we agree
You and I
That 2020 is a bitch of a year ?
And the worse of it all
We’re only in March!
