[ The World Has Now Turned Upside Down With A Snap ]
[ If You Have Not Heard Of This Virus ]
[ You Must Have Been Taking A Nap ]

[ Now People Are Being Quarantined From Each Other ]
[ But They Say That We Must Remain Separate But Together ]

[ What Exactly Does That Mean? ]
[ Are We Just Supposed To Be Heard? ]
[ Not Seen? ]

[ The Virus Is Everywhere ]
[ Yes It’s There, There & There ]

[ The Main Thing Is That We Can’t Be In A Group
Or A Bunch ]
[ No More Meeting For Breakfast Or Lunch ]

[ One Thing We Will Miss So Much ]
[ That Is Seeing & Loving Each Other Through Touch ]

[ When Will This End, Nobody Can Predict ]
[ The Virus Doesn’t Care Who Gets Picked ]

[ & To Think That This All Started Because Of A Bat ]
[ Now It Affects All Of This ]
[ & All Of That ]

[ The Poor Workers That Got Sent Home Or Got Laid Off ]
[ Some Have To Dip Into Their Sick Leave ]
[ Without Sneezing Or Having A Cough ]

[ My Wife Works @ A Job Where She Can’t Do It From Home ]
[ Some Of Her Fellow Employees Have Traveled ]
[ To Some Places Unknown ]

[ We Were Supposed To Travel, Too ]
[ But Then We Canceled Everything Because Of What We Knew ]

[ We Definitely Understand & Don’t Oppose ]
[ That Where We Were Going ]
[ Everything Was Closed ]

[ So When You All Are @ Home Don’t Be Down Or Get Lazy ]
[ Call Someone That Makes You Laugh ]
[ So You Don’t Go Stir Crazy ]

[ I Know What I’ll Do With These Longer Days Of Light ]
[ I’ll Keep My Phone On ]
[ & Use The Thoughts That I Have That Compel Me To Write ]

[ Some Thoughts Come Quick, But Others Are Slow ]
[ What Tomorrow Brings ]
[ Nobody Knows ]

[ The Lead Doctors & Scientists Do Not Even Know What Comes
Next ]
[ We’re Dealing With A Virus So We Don’t Know What To Expect ]

[ So,We, I Mean Us, Who Want To Live To Grow Old ]
[ Trust The Smart People ]
[ & Do As We’re Told ]

[ I Love Writing Story After Story ]
[ Not For The Praise ]
[ Or The Glory ]

[ With All The Thoughts That Don’t End ]
[ It’s Warm Thoughts That I Send ]
[ To My Loved Ones & Friends ]

[ Everyone Stay Safe ]
