Phyllis Babcock Poet Rhyme

Coronavirus

In the hard times on the land
leaning on each other lend a hand
In this storm we will stand

We do our best give a smile
staying strong in the meanwhile
In this storm we will stand

Isolate stay inside
take things daily in stride
In this storm we will stand

Unsure of what will be done
Is no cure none
In this storm we stand

Asking for blessings for all
some survive some will fall
In this storm we stand

In the adversities of life
amid all the strife
We stand in the storm.

The Situation May 25, 2022 at 6:40 PM Looking back on timing. Two years ago the begginning. In the storm we stand. Does this hold it together or tear it apart.

Eve Roper March 21, 2020 at 10:26 PM Great poem with great flow... Everyone are trying to stay strong. Lending a hand in a land in some areas , Not happening. I went out yesterday to get a few things and people were just crazy.. I had one woman keeping on telling me not to touch her and I was 3 or 4 feet from her carrying my 18 month grandson. I got upset with her informed her that no one was near her. People were pushing and cutting in line. I just decided to leave. I don't like being around rudeness and selfish people. Phyllis Babcock April 7, 2020 at 12:05 PM Thanks for your comment Eve. Hope all is well with you and your family. Yes the lines at the grocery store are crazy. Take care. love phyl
