When the World Is Safe Again

When the World is Safe Again Each breaking day as I awake I ask my God in His good grace To simply let me hold my place Until the world is safe again For now we have to wear our mask So we can all complete the task Of staying safe and out of harm Until the world is safe again I am sure the day will dawn When each of us can be reborn And hold our loved ones close once more When the world is safe again Loneliness can steal our song It’s just a case of staying strong This Covid nightmare will be gone When the world is safe again With the healing vaccine at our door This awful plague should be no more And each of us can then rejoice When the world is safe again Then we all will give our thanks To all of those who held their ranks And fought to keep us free from pain When the world is safe again Michael Hoban, Ph.D. – Professor Emeritus, City U of NY profhoban@msn.com - Lakewood, NJ - January 21, 2021
