Together

I want to relay a message without Judgement or hate.
I don’t want to argue and I don’t want to debate.
It’s just my thoughts on masks and Covid 19.
This is just for awareness and not meant to demean.

The mask is a big issue both here and abroad.
For some it’s important and for others it’s fraud.
Some will get this virus and never feel sick.
Others get lucky and their symptoms don’t stick.

Some will get very ill and eventually die.
There is no rhyme nor reason, and nobody knows why.
Let’s just give some thought and open our minds.
Every life is important, search your heart and you’ll find.

It could kill your husband, your wife, your Mom or your Dad,
your brother, your sister, grandparents, or some acquaintance you had.
Remember these people as you put on your mask, we can all do our part, if you’re healthy be glad.
Please be safe and wash your hands, focus on the good points and not just the bad.

I wish everyone took this perspective; it is not about only us, it's about saving another's life... or many. Brilliant Mark

Hello Mark Kooplin, I wear the mask and I use the hand sanitiser, when I get home i wash my hands. I protect myself any way that i can. Some people are smart but dumb not to wear the mask hand or use the hand saniiter. Have a nice day my friend.
