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.

Looking back on timing. Two years ago the begginning. In the storm we stand. Does this hold it together or tear it apart.

another one that shows how much this is on your mind. Try not to worry too much. I am just trying to take it like : What will be, will be. It's good to know you are safe, my friend

Hello Phyllis … nicely presented with a reminder to stay positive, and also protect ourselves and each other by following the guidelines - I trust you have isolated yourselves, Al and you Phyllis. We need to remain patient until it passes in the future whenever that is - stay safe Phyllis - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay. Hope you and Joy and family are staying well . Al was working but took some time off as of yesterday. Yes we have to remain patient until it passes. Around 200 cases in the province and most of us are in isolation or working from home. A trying time for many. love phyl

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.
