Covid the Reaper

Covid 19 
Coronavirus
The reaper

Lives cut short
Families grow smaller
Children experience 
the unimaginable
Mom Dad have no answers
why is this happening
What does shelter in place mean, essential
Why cant i go to school
why is mom home and crying more
Dad is worried, he sure is cranky
sometimes we have fun let loose but we know
the reaper is out there its just a matter of time they say.

The news is constantly updating the breaking news
more lives lost

The reaper is here, a lovely couple now a lonely single, Anniversary now a memorial no one can attend. Days will be cut short are these those days
the reaper is here
