Thoughts
We are fighting an unseen unknown foe that’s taken over our world,
It has no compassion, no sense of life into this nightmare we’ve been hurled.
Many thousand have died alone and afraid, why is it being so cruel,
What have we done to deserve such pain, how can we fight back with no tool?
But the one thing we do have that can’t be destroyed is the hope that lives in our heart,
We have to believe we’ll be masters again of our world and all of its part.
Are we learning as time goes by, should we try to forgive?
Are we thankful for all for sacrifices made in order that others should live?
Are we learning to be kinder to those in great need, are we doing all we could?
Are we loving each other and trying our best to let hope get us through and we should?
Believe we will win otherwise we will lose, and that must never be done,
We have much to fight for in our beautiful world, and all nature still grows in the sun.
To remember the lessons that have brought us together, to be better than we were before,
To be thankful for life and all of her gifts, to share love with each other once more.
It’s very hard to make sense of a world that’s unknown where people work hard to save lives,
We thank and applaud them for their never-ending care, remembering that they have family ties.
So I gather my thoughts that are still confused and head for home once again,
Believing one day this terror will pass leaving hope to ease some of the pain.
I pray for health and strength for all and when this virus ends,
I’ll hold on tight to those I’ve missed, my beloved family and friends.
When the world is well again, will we give back more than we take,
Can we make our lives more meaningful the choice is ours to make.
