Rise Up and Be Strong

Today, I took a ride
Skies are bright, sun is shining
The radio on, to lift me up
From this new place of challenges,
We all now face 
Mountains are capped white with snow
Shining in the backdrop of blue
My heart goes out to everyone here
As I send best wishes to you
Rise up and be strong
Don't forget the beauty around you
We must keep trying, to get us through!

I like the upbeat message in your poem--nature is certainly a place to be when we are feeling fear and anxiety-- as the nation is. We are following social distancing to get through this. Well said, Heidi. Please stay safe--my best to you.

Thank you Vijay. This is a very difficult time and we must remember the simple things and not overlook Nature with all it has to offer to bring us peace. I will stay safe and I wish you the best too. Have a nice day :)
