It was a good morning until I heard the news
reporting that COVID-19 was now spreading.
The news described how this flue isn't like other flues;
it's deadlier; I didn't like where this was heading.
At first, countries restricted air flights and cruise ships;
but soon, this virus started showing up worldwide.
And, as people canceled their vacations and trips,
they were instructed to self-quarantine inside.
It's been a year since I last stepped outside my door;
but vaccines are coming; the future's not as bleak.
Hopefully, we'll pick up from where we were before;
kids in school, and life back to a standard workweek.
