Charlotte Watkins Poet Heroic Couplet

Stand Up To Covid 19

Though this virus wages panic worldwide, 
borders shut, planes bust, tourists left wayside.
May ample minds make speedy work assured, 
with diligence the sick will soon be cured. 
For God, hope and strength are our foundations, 
let not fear consume in tribulations. 
May love for each other be unrefined, 
help those isolated not be confined. 
Gather groceries, lend a helping hand, 
for as one united front, strong, we stand. 
The virus will pass, our choices remain, 
so if ill, stay inside, loved ones refrain. 
Trust tomorrow is not the end of time, 
for one day soon the bells of joy will chime.
