Poem

To all the fallen of Covid 19
whose deaths were unrecorded and unseen
To those who languished in intensive care
where Fear unmasked itself to mock each prayer

To mothers shedding tears from dawn till night
while clutching keepsakes of their children tight 
To fathers who must raise their kids alone
who stoic in their grief, suppress each groan

To nurses, doctors, first responders, all
who risked their lives in answering the call
to face the mayhem, doing what it takes
Yet every day the virus raised the stakes

To those deprived of saying their goodbyes 
who could not wipe the tears from closing eyes
To those who stood alone beside a grave
who mourned the youth that doctors could not save

To you now isolated in your house
who care for stricken child or unwell spouse
To you whose nightmares will not let you sleep
who plead of God your loved ones' souls to keep

What comfort can I give you who remain
when in the news there's talk of a new strain?
Just this that Covid 19 will not win
To let it crush our souls would be as sin

One day we're sure to leave the "hiding place",
and not to face our deaths, but live in grace 
Though normalcy may not be like before,
I know that there are blessings still in store

Our faith and dreams remain pandemic free...
These Covid cannot steal from you or me 
Humanity has learned what things are dear
We found new ways to keep our loved ones near
