Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

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.   -

Quoth Theraven March 21, 2020 at 1:36 PM Heidi, Bravely worded prose in your poem 'I saw it coming'. Perhaps the animals sense the more turbulent weather, and our changing times. -Richard Heidi Sands March 21, 2020 at 1:44 PM 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 :)
