Coping Up With Life In Covid Times

Coping up with life in COVID times Shake off all your fears, have no doubts in His might; You have come so far, you can still go farther; Like a river that traverses through rough paths; Like a mountain that no hurricanes can move; Like the Sun that shines bright every morning. Just like the darkness of a frightful black night; That comes and fades, this too shall pass; Stop for a while; to take a look back in time ..... So many fond memories, take some moments to cherish; So many happy times, revisit and rewind; Feel the warmth, of goodness of hearts; Celebrate golden events, Reverberate; Recall beautiful upshots, that intensely touched souls. Enjoy the giggles of children, and sarcasms of your spouse; Stay close to parents, once so rhymed your hearts; Lyrics of a perfect home, tuned to your dreams; Pursue a hobby, tickle your taste buds; Take some rest. For the precious breaths; that await..... To seek tranquility in nature’s lap, lose to those subtle little chirps; To meld into the luminance of Sun, from aurora to twilight in the sky; No longer on a high horse, To be a part of the vast universe. Stand the gaff for being unjust to beings, to nature; Be on the guard and follow the rules; Be with the warriors redress the wrongs; Show some mettle, and you can fight fire with fire.
