Jan Allison Poet Free verse

Just Thinkin'

Just thinkin 
an hopin’

Twenty twenty one
will it be the year
Covid 19 has gone…

Just thinkin’
an hopin’

vaccine is the solution
Will it be the year
for the virus’s execution

Just thinkin’
An hopin’

Just thinkin’
An hopin’

Just hopin’
An prayin’

That’s all
I am sayin’

Just thinkin’
An hopin’
An prayin’
That our world can finally be
Covid 19 free

I'm hopin'
I'm prayin' ....

Just Thinkin Constest

Rico Leffanta January 3, 2021 at 11:10 AM The only proven way to stop a pandemic is for EVERYONE to understand there are NO exclusions/exemptions/waivers in a pandemic; that EVERYONE is at risk for conveying the virus to loved ones as well as strangers. Hoping for "common" sense won't get the job done! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison January 4, 2021 at 11:14 AM well said Rico:-) hugs jan xx

Sara Kendrick January 3, 2021 at 8:43 AM I think this vaccine will stop the pandemic but this virus will in some form always be around from now on. We do now have a vaccine to help keep us from dying from it though. I like your style in this one. Reads like a winner. Sara Jan Allison January 3, 2021 at 9:21 AM I think you are spot on there sara, got to live with it for the time being and try and keep healthy:-) hugs jan xx
