2020

On December 31st, 2019 I was full of hope, like so many. For all the possibilities of change That would come with 2020 Well, it was all that and a bag of chips The good and the bad were there The devastation was historical Many families found power in prayer There are so many empty seats at the table Because of what happened in 2020 The Pandemic, hatred, COVID-19 You name it. The reasons are plenty Living through a pandemic is hard enough The restriction is too much for some They become mean and take it out on others And then violence overcomes With limitations on businesses opening doors People’s livelihoods on the line Advocates formed all across the world True colors began to shine What does your neighbor truly stand for? Where is his or her heart in this fight? COVID-19 has a mind of it’s own So together we must do what’s right. We must wear masks and use sanitizer. We must social distance and pray We open our eyes and continue to fight For a future that’s a better way. We need a better way to communicate No matter what party you vote We need a better way than yesterday That’s fueled by prayers and hope.
