Keeping It Real

"One day I woke up to a world of topsy-turvy 
one minute sharing a meal and hugging my kids 
and the next, keeping my distance with a masked smile" 

I believe that tomorrow was never ours 
and that hope is the rafter that keeps us afloat 
I believe that this pandemic has changed our attitude  
and given us a chance to realize how precious life is 

I believe that if we persevere and work together 
we can find a solution to this dilemma 
I believe government is doing the best it can 
we can't slap our leaders, if we need their hand 

I believe in miracles, especially in these difficult times 
one day can make a difference 
I believe that mountains can crumble and so can people 
but if we fight the good fight, we can win 

I believe in good old fashioned courage 
putting a little water in our wineglass 
I believe we owe it to ourselves and to our loved ones 
to continue to do all that we can, to stay healthy and alive.
