It was closer to Spring
we heard about it
but never thought it would come
to pay us a visit, but
IT did
We were asked to stay home
so we did
Some went back to the front-lines
courageously to risk their lives to save others
and uncertain the outcomes
Messages of encouragement were sent,
to keep our spirits up
because we were sad
we felt lonely, we felt torn apart
we were distant, truly distant
It was closer to Spring
we heard about IT
but never thought it would come
to pay us a visit, but
IT did
Spring day came, the sun rose high in the sky
we went running, walking or grocery shopping
but only when needed
still confined to our homes
we felt blessed to still have each other,
to lean on
There in the distance I felt resilience
in those very uncertain times
when we had no answers
of when, how long, why
IT had come
We were asked to stay home
so we did
Some went back to the front-lines
courageously to risk their lives to save others
and uncertain of the outcomes
In the midst of the uncertainty
we feel blessed for all that we have
and hopeful that this too shall pass
and we feel grateful for all that we have,
however small it is
Our center of gravity was shifted
from sure to uncertainty
but courageously we wait for the cure
we are extremely blessed for all that we have,
and, amidst uncertainty we are hopeful
for a better future and remain grateful
and positive that this too shall pass
IT was COVID-19
Thank you!
