I Saw It Coming

The sun is shining bright, but the world is dark This pandemic has swept the world and every park I saw it coming a couple months ago But the preparations were lacking, and scared me so Now, some places have come a horror show No masks, lack of supplies, as all the cases flow Into hospitals, overloading them day to day I am almost speechless, trying to find words to say It's so overwhelming to see the widespread impact In so many areas, so many closings are a fact We are fighting for our lives, trying to stay inside I'm looking in my yard, even the animals seem to hide All I can do is pray with my heart, as it breaks Wishing I could do more, as I'm doing what it takes... - To survive. - Heidi Sands 3/21/20

We can only do what has been advised by WHO and eat well, and take vitamins and have the flu shot, whatever extra we can do must be good, I'm certain. Well penned Heidi. Blessings, Jennifer.

Keep doing what you're doing, my friend. If we all do our part, the spike in cases will be manageable. Best always, Gershon

Heidi, Bravely worded prose in your poem 'I saw it coming'. Perhaps the animals sense the more turbulent weather, and our changing times. -Richard

Hi Richard. Thank you very much for your comment. I am not able to be on line regularly with my tablet yet, but hopefully in April. Yes, the animals sense things. Stay well. Take care :)
