PANDEMIC POEM
She had dreams of a future bright,
A life of purpose,
filled with light,
A path of success that shone so clear,
But now, it’s all just a distant fear.
The world was struck with COVID’s rage,
A pandemic that locked us in a cage,
A virus that spread with lightning speed,
Leaving a trail of pain and need.

to gain knowledge,
But now her dreams have been deferred,
Her hopes and aspirations blurred.
She had imagined a world of change,
A chance to help and rearrange,
But now her heart is filled with sorrow,
As she worries about tomorrow.
The pandemic has taken so much,
It’s left us with a world that’s tough,
But she’ll hold on and stay strong,
Even when everything feels wrong.
For though her plans may have been disrupted,
And her future may seem corrupted,
She knows that she has the power within,
To rise again and try again.
So she’ll take a deep breath and carry on,
With the hope that one day the pandemic will be gone,
And she’ll chase her dreams with all her might,
And find her way back into the light.
