Poem By Gennett
300 plus people a day, and she smiles.
People angry because the store doesn’t have everything they want(not necessarily need), and she smiles.
Same people daily or even several times a day though the country has been told to limit exposure and stay home, and she smiles.
Working extra, faster and with increased stress, and she smiles.
No opportunity to work at home, and she smiles.
Seeing and hearing all the comments people make about being “bored and just need to get out of the house”, and she smiles.
Social distancing, not a chance, and she smiles.
Cancelled vacations with loved ones, and she smiles.
Worries about her loved ones catching the virus, and she smiles.
Tired…. but most of all, physically and mentally drained, and she smiles.
Tell her “you notice”.
Tell her “she is appreciated”.
Tell her “thank you”.
Smile.
And she smiles.
