Few would survive well
if links in the supply chain
worsened even more.
Uncelebrated,
even in easier times,
the chain sustains us.
Providers include
farmers and fabricators
using transporters.
For optimal reach,
controlling the flow of goods
needs deft management.
Support system strength
buoys chain effectiveness,
its efficiency.
Respect then extends to:
those giving needed support.
A long list follows.
Health, fuel, housing,
schooling, employers, news folk,
customer service.
Charity pantries,
mail, cashiers, homes of worship,
clerks, warehouse workers.
Likely I have missed
links in the vast supply chain.
It is that complex.
All contribute to
providing and consuming,
hopefully in sync.

Hi Judy,
These are strange days indeed. Who would have thought we would be living through a pandemic. I enjoyed reading your poetry. It's nice to see you back blogging as well.
Take care.
Great to hear from you, Karen. The pandemic has had at least the positive impact of my reconnecting with friends. Stay safe and well.
