Sometimes at a funeral we meet old friends
that we haven't seen for a long, long time
and won't see again
until the next funeral.
It shouldn't be this way.
Are all of us so busy
that we can't make time
to visit those we love?
In these pandemic times,
perhaps we can't see them in person,
but we can certainly get together
using Zoom or other electronic media!
Thank you Cowboy; I absolutely love the way you write, it's so graceful, like a Utah sunset in the Grand Staircase... Beauty, the kind that goes to the depths, and stays with you.
Hmmm.... I thanked three people, but now only two comments appear below! Someone has deleted his comment!

I would like to translate this poem
Very sensible piece of writing. Pandemic or otherwise, it doesn't take much time or energy to contact your friends or dear ones even if it is not feasible to meet physically. Thanks.
