The recent months have proved to be of great difficulty 

It appeared that we were being attacked with such great cruelty

Trials and tribulations tested us all

However we can all say that we have yet to fall

We have remained strong, taking refuge in each other

Holding on to hope that soon our problems will blow away forever


We paid homage to all the loved ones lost

And celebrated the lives that they lived with eyes glossed

Yet life moves on, as it always does

Never skipping a beat, like a constant buzz


If we learn one thing from this whole experience

Let it be nothing too serious

Yet to be thankful for those little things in life

Because it is often those that relieve us of all strife


The author's comments:

This is a piece that I feel very passionate about because it was inspired by the difficult times of COVID-19.  However, I feel that it will continue to stay true throughout many time periods of many people's lives.  The message contained within the poem is one that will apply to my life for many years and I hope that others can identify with the same message.
