I really like this poem which clearly explains the fears many nursing home residents have as a result of lock-down. I assume the Speaker is a care-giver who, on site, truly understands what is going on. The last two lines are especially poignant to this reader. Rod

I work at a nursing home and their fear and loneliness is breaking my heart. Thank you so much for the nice review!

Thank you for such a lovely review. You picked the perfect word for them- vulnerable.
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Terry. You have caught the truth in a bottle with this poem. I have heard of how thee has been spread in senior care facilities. They are the most fragile in our society. They are fragile for many reasons.
This is very well written and is an exceptional poem. The rhyme and meter work through the poem. The message is golden.

This is a touching story about the bleak situation in nursing homes, where residents who depend on family visits are being deprived of the same. It is a situation which must be endured, but for how long can they hold out?

It frightens me. Some are actually regressing and cry a lot.

I have no six for you but consider this a Virtual Six! You tug at hearts at all that is going on in nursing homes all over the country and how we grieve for the residents. Bless you for your compassionate heart! May the Lord comfort and clarify this situation to them.
