We’re In This Together by Laurie Ingersoll 4/2/2020
Things in our world have suddenly changed.
Life as we know it has been rearranged.
Things may be different, but we will get by
We are in this together, and we’ll be just fine!
There’s something out there that’s too small to see.
It can pass between us, from you onto me.
It’s called a virus, much worse than a cold.
They don’t have a cure yet, but will soon I’m told.
It likes to jump from one to the next.
Just how we catch it had us perplexed,
These germs are so tiny, they float in the air
If we sneeze or cough, they can go everywhere.
There are things we can do to keep us from harm
Like catching our sneezes inside our arm
We can be germ ninjas, stopping their spread.
Warm soapy water will kill them all dead!
We must keep our distance from family and friends
Six feet apart til this pandemic ends.
Things may be different, but we will get by
We are in this together, and we’ll be just fine!
Today the parks closed and so did the schools
Suddenly life has a new set of rules.
It’s a new kind of normal, a different routine.
Let’s read some new books, watch films we’ve not seen.
Let’s look on the bright side, we have this new time at home.
We can video friends or chat on the phone.
Hearing their voices and seeing their faces
Will keep us connected whilst stuck in our places.
We can still ride our bikes and go for nice walks.
We can sing our lungs out and have family talks,
Have backyard picnics and dance with the moon,
Tea parties, art sessions, it will be over soon.
We can learn brand new things and do our work too
Life will be altered for a short month or two.
Things may be different, but we will get by
We are in this together, and we’ll be just fine!
There are people alone and elderly too
Who would love a card or a wave from you.
We could water their plants or sweep off their stairs
Just a small kind deed to show them we care.
There may come a time when we’re all wearing masks
It’s for our own safety and those out doing their tasks
Think of it just like you’re wearing a cape,
A brave virus ninja, let no germ escape!
Treasure this time, it’s really a gift
To spend time with loved ones til quarantine lifts.
Things may be different, but we will get by
We are in this together, and we’ll be just fine.
