Masks
Questions for my child
What if masks covered our eyes
What if we all needed to clasp
Hands to get around safely
What if words weren’t allowed
If love was conveyed by the touch
Of another’s hand
As in a mom, a dad, a friend
Must we always talk
So we might understand
What if love
Was our only way
Every day
And when you dreamed
Would it be of tomorrow
Another most wonderful day
When we’re all back at school
Clasping friends’ and teachers’ hands
Showing love
Guess what
Everyone understands!
