It Took A Pandemic (Poem)

It Took A Pandemic It took a Pandemic To bring us together While pulling Us apart. It took a Pandemic For us to take a moment And breathe in The fresh air. It took a Pandemic To make us realize What really matters. It took a Pandemic To make us look To goodness. It took a Pandemic To shift our focus And appreciate The little things We took for granted Like a breath Of fresh air. It took a Pandemic To make us realize We truly do Need one another.

This is ironically true and creatively written. Amazing! It took a pandemic to make us realize that at the end of the day, it is our family and in our home can keep us safe. I truly hope and pray that this crisis will soon come to an end.
