Pandemic Reality Part Five by Mary L. Schmidt © November 2020

Shortness of breath and dizziness prevailed,

My husband increased my oxygen, I inhaled;

Falling to my knees as I walked, I surely failed;

With my husband at my side, falls curtailed.

Covid-19 zapped all of my strength and muscle,

Baby steps, baby steps, no need to hustle;

With further decline, I truly felt like rubble,

My husband did well to make sense of my puzzle.
