Coronavirus Covid-19

Fear fear fear
No more I want to hear
It is getting too much for many its clear

Test tests tests
The more you look the more you find
This is something that is not kind

Media dream
Frightening people
It would seem

We are in a war
Worldwide
Many run and hide

Where did this start
When will this end
On who will we depend

Pray pray pray
That is what I say
To get you through the day

Your poem has a natural flow. Let's one read to the end. The answer to your question is the Lord. He is the only one who can help us. This is one scary virus. I am thankful for my faith in God. I pray for my family, and everyone the world over. I hope you have a great safe day.

Nice rhythm and rhyme here and never depressing tone though the subject is so dark Maybe Frances you will read my poetic take on this terrible virus - Back to Belfast

I think praying is a good suggestion. A certain amount of anxiety is good so that people take the risk seriously.

Hi Richard, This is bigger than all of us. It needs to be taken very seriously, although I try to see the silver lining. I am having a long awaited period of relaxation. That is a blessing for me. Look after yourself and thanks for taking the time to look at my poems. Very much appreciated. Frances

If it has done anything worthwhile in its short life-span, COVID-19 has sparked more prayers and hopefully more faith in a God who is still in control. Beautiful write, Frances.
