She Is Here She Is Alive

At a time when we need people
Especially our loved ones the most
When we need affection, attention and love the most
When being together would mean everything

A pandemic is forcing us apart 
In fear we are waiting for the other shoe to drop
Bioterrorism at her best, at her most urgent
Shutting down graduations, schools, churches, families.

She is here,
She is alive
She is active.
Stay inside. Stay clean. Stay safe
Drink warm fluids; it cuts the phlegm.

It is a great test, but please, let's get rid of it. We all need to pray like mad.
