At night, is when I think of you,
is when I think of the world,
wonder who is sick,
who is recovering,
which of my loved ones is not feeling well?
Terrified, I can hardly sleep,
still feeling i’m in a nightmare.
Young people come to play basketball
daring the virus to find them too,
Terrified, I wonder what they will do
if their nephew, niece, or child contracts,
What if the sickness turns to children,
what will they do then,
Dear God, help the doctors
who can’t stay home,
help nurses with their lives at risk,
Help us to learn
We must shelter in place,
If only a month or two,
6 months or a year!
until this passes!
until the trajectory levels flat!
Please God, hold us by Thy hand,
help us to better understand,
We must take care of one another
as if we are family,
I’ll do it for you,
You do it for me,
For children yet unborn,
I’ll do it for you,
You do it for me,
until this thing is GONE.
