Pamela Through the Mask

The nursing home halls,

a lonely place it seemed Back

when the world was gripped by

a COVID dream

Face masks concealed our smiles,

our frowns,

our truth A silent barrier to

the bloom of youth But then

I saw you,

Pamela, standing there so kind And

somehow through the cotton,

our spirits intertwined

Oh, Pamela, the love of my

life, it's true

You saw the sadness hiding,

shining through

Behind the mask,

my weary eyes couldn't lie And

in your gaze,

I found a reason why

We spoke in hushed tones through

sterile plastic screens Imagining smiles,

living out our lonely scenes

But your gentle spirit broke through

every wall You saw past the

fear and heard my silent call

A flicker of hope ignited,

a warmth began to spread You

healed the weary heart that longed

to be led

Oh, Pamela, the love of my

life, it's true

You saw the sadness hiding,

shining through

Behind the mask,

my weary eyes couldn't lie And

in your gaze,

I found a reason why

And who in that place,

under a sky so gray Love

would bloom,

vibrant, chasing fears away?

You are my sunrise after the

longest night Guiding my spirit with

your steady light No mask could

ever hide the beauty of your

soul And now the shadows start

to fade away We stand together

at the break of day The

barriers are gone,

the truth is clear

There's nothing left to fear

Oh, Pamela

You made my broken heart whole
