Let Us Be Grateful

Let us all be grateful,
For what we did not get,
Assuming you are one of those people,
Who are not in great debt,

Assuming you aren't eighty years old,
Held in a nursing home,
A gay teen with hard parents quarantined,
Or refugee living in a war zone.

A worker with the prospect of no job,
For nothing that she did,
Oh, and I guess let's tack on one more thing,
That you don't have Covid.
For all these things,
Plus more that would not fit,
Let us appreciate what we don't have,
Until we find one day that we have it.
