This Is Not A Dream Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

I wanted to celebrate my birthday on this Gran Canaria Island, one of the many island of Spain, the tickets were bought, then came the news: must be in quarantine fiirst, for two weeks, WHAT? So zero days left for my holidays there, months and months I planned, at last I got this important news: MUST BE IN QUARANTINE FOURTEEN DAYS, no birthday celebration thus, no holidays no meeting with Vinhie and his parents and younger brother, no gathering, nothing at all, while we were waiting weeks and weeks, finally the respond: all other islands around the capital of Gran Canaria are prohibited to enter, only this little cozy place in the west of the big island is declared free.WOW, we had much luck, very much luck, uncountable, this was not a dream but reality, we have had 14 days super vacation, celebrating my birthday and gathering with great coziness there on Gran Canaria, you know WHO helped me: GOD, believe it or not: God was with me and He still is. Thank you so much for reading, best wishes from a grateful poetess, Sylvia
