Dear Corona, From Class of 2020

Tassels are turned, and caps are in the air, High school ends just like that with a handshake. This is a day we’ve been waiting to share But now, everybody’s health is at stake. With no parties, no way to celebrate, How do we mark our great accomplishments? Maybe by summer, we’ll see our classmates, But then it’s on to college assignments. Pack up, move out, now your life’s in a dorm. Usually there are some hugs and tears. First day of class is not the high school norm, But we quickly find friends among new peers. Corona, you’ve seized prom, graduation... Please don’t touch our college education.

I join you in your prayer, Ava (and in Jesus' name, the Name of real power in Heaven!). I like that you do not list an ugly series of adjectives about the COVID19 virus, only how young folks education is affected. Only the last line is the actual prayer. Excellent. We simply REBUKE the dark side, with quiet boldness. U showcase FAITH. ThX
