Before Covid
Before Covid, I lived my life,
Mum and grandmother, happy wife.
The only ailments I suffered were few—
Arthritis, insomnia, nothing new.
I had dreams, they were out there,
Within my reach, without despair.
But then Covid came, and I fell ill,
My world turned grey; time stood still.
Weight gain, joint pain, tired but can’t sleep,
Eyesight problems, and all I could do was weep.
Nothing to do, just sit and pray,
Hoping this nightmare would go away.
Now I feel mental, I worry each day,
Every little pain takes peace away.
With physio, I try to get back again,
Exercise gentle, but life’s not the same.
I fear to go out; my mind’s in a dark place,
I just pray this will go soon, and again life I can face.
I want to enjoy again going out of the house
At my own steady before Covid pace.

That Covid is just downright nasty and if you are unlucky and have Long Covid prayers to you and hope you have more bright days coming. Good job on shaing.
That damned Covid wasn´t only a flue, so many things after appears. I wish you all the best.
I hope you feel up to venturing out again, any form of illness is not good and some, like COVID, are very difficult to deal with. Thank you for sharing
