Masks to keep your germs in,
or germs of others out
will also hide your cheeky grin
– your friendship some may doubt.

but when those masks we can discard
still will they find it very hard
to read your features, know you care?
– for do you mask your feelings, hide
your honest thoughts, afraid to share?

The mask we wear protects us, like a smile can project kindness, even if we're feeling low. people don't want to think about misery.

I'm actually getting used to wearing the mask for infections and would feel strange walking into a shop without one. It's nice to see people expressing themselves with their eyes.

A  good one for the I P and also a thought provoking poem Rhiannon.

Thank you, Jenny. It isn't easy to read people's eyes only, especially from a distance, but we are leanring to make more use of smiling with our eyes only to people! But without masks, some do feel obliged to keep themselves very private, I think. Rhiannon

If the shoe fits wear it! No it was meant a comment in general. But sorry I made a mistake addressing Luigi. It happens. You and Jacques and Luigi are my favourite writers on Abc.

No big deal I hope! Glad to see you getting recognition with the cherries as well, good work well done!
