The Parade Went By

- David CLURE

The parade went by...
But that was last year .

It got in my eye .
Into my soul's mirror .

All of those times
you tried connecting .

I thought it was
enough, just texting...

The parade went by,
but that was last year.

Now hugging is more precious...
Than the world;
Working together than
all life's gold .

The parade went by,
but that was LAST year .

The parade went by, but
maybe next year?

Could be a song. Life's parade has drastically changed. Slowed down and even disappeared in some cases. But it surely will come back� "Maybe next year."

Hugging is human's contact and is meant for comforting others but sadly, with the social distancing, we no longer are allowed to hug one another. Very sad.
