Composed this morning, pre-lockdown

Please don't rush me to feel better;
It doesn't work that way
Allow me and my body to heal,
Is all I wish to convey.

I can't control what's happening,
But I try to control how I react
Time heals everything, they say;
And your understanding is all I ask.

Not everyone is the same,
So don't even begin to compare;
Just please be patient,
Recovery cannot be hastened.

Your kind thoughts and concern
Never go unnoticed;
They are truly appreciated -
You really are the greatest!

The thoughtful pressies and home-cooked meals
Gave me such unending thrills;
Your text and emails
Likewise make my heart swell.

Just give me time to return to "normal";
And when I can once more be social,
Let's all meet again for a cuppa
At Dome, C15, or Denada.
