Pendemic Before You Go. A poem by Sandra Behan

Thank you for giving me a page
A page to tell you about my mum
as she stood freezing on her doorstep on Mother’s Day.

A page to tell you about the green bunting and pictures that decorated the windows of my little village in Longwood on St. Patrick’s Day

A page to tell you about my early morning walks on Ribbontail Lane
when the vulnerable stead indoors

A page to tell you about Mother Nature who brought such comfort and joy as she wrapped me in her arms when I was scared

A page to remember my friends at Listowel Writers week and to tell you about John B’s virtual healing session

A page to remember my grandson’s first birthday when the road between us was closed

A page to remember Willow’s first visit to her grandfather after lockdown

A page to remember our frontline workers, the people who lost their lives and my family

And

A page to remember my grandson’s first pair of blue suede shoes as he took his first steps during lockdown

Thank you x

……….
