It just struck me that we haven’t done an image prompt for long. So, here we go …
PROMPT 143
As usual, there is no restriction on length or format of the piece. Write a post on your blog, and copy-paste the link here.

I am here
Far from home
I want to go back but
There are lot of restrictions
The flights are suspended, borders closed
Daily I check for flight schedules to see if I can
Get booking to fly to my home country
But I am disappointed every day
But I am still hopeful
I will get there soon!

When the pandemic broke, a lot of people who were out of the country for work, business, or vacation were stuck in foreign countries. This poem is a reflection of their state of mind

The most frightful are the cases were husband works in some other country, wife passed away with Covid and the child is staying with whoever takes care of them. In some cases, the child has not been told the truth about the mother. Heart-rending stories, but I guess people are getting immune to tragedy in view of the scale at which it is happening.

You’re so right, it is tragic. And the tragedies that are striking have made us blasé about it all.

It sure is. And sometimes people don’t have enough money to stay in a respectable place.

There are so many situations like this Sadje, some wondering if they’ll ever get home and having to pay huge prices for the ticket home.
