These Are the Days

These are the days we never expected
Testing us to the fullest extent
Pain, suffering and death surrounds us
It takes strength to cope and believe
That there are still good things all around
Caring people, ways to smile, positive things to do
These are the days of facing grief
For what is lost, while trying to stay focused
These days aren't easy for anyone
These are the days to always remember,
There is love that outlasts everything!

* It is a sad reality check today when the US Surgeon General warns Americans that this next week will be worse than Pearl Harbor and the saddest, hardest week in Americans lives.

I sure look forward to writing again Richard. Still have to get more energy, from being drained in this fight. But, I am hoping soon. Thank you and I hope you are well :)

I have found people to be extra kind right now. Those out and about are very grateful not to be ill and they are being extra careful here in Hawaii. We are all in the same boat and we need to keep it afloat! I enjoyed your insightful poem Heidi. Keep Safe xxoo

I am happy to hear that. It is a time of need to be kind to each other. I may send cards to some people on the front lines. Thank you for your comment. Stay well :)

It's very difficult times...In the UK we are close to one thousand deaths a day and so many have died from my community....

I am sorry to hear that Silent One. Yes, it is difficult time. It is heartbreaking to see all this. Young healthy people dying here, medical workers, etc. We must stay United and do everything we can to stay positive and survive. Stay well. Thank you :)
