COVID-19 Unforeseen With Other Stormy Scenes 

Throughout the madness, 
We’re developing graceful habits. 

Physically in solitary, 
Mentally building plans to one day marry. 

Currently, we’re in training to escape the ordinary,
We must not have been in a place that we can call extraordinary. 

Through our reflections, what did we take for granted, The affection held by our companions,
Or the access to opportunities implanted? 

A healthcare nightmare is being supplemented with many lives being taken, Importance of safety enforcing distancing is being mistaken, 
Safety and supplies are being forsaken. 

This is our chance to supply love and kindness that’s always in the making, For our love and faith is not mistaken,
In unity, we’re working for this all to be a seed planted while we strengthen. 

The flower seems afar and the seed seems too deep, 
But hang tight as we pray for the beauty to always show up in our sleep, 
When we rise we will show gratitude to the life we always wanted to mesmerize. 

Until then, 
While the storm is teaching us lessons, 
We will learn to apply them as blessings. 
So when our garden receives enough rain,
We will know just how to give thanks to our foundation, 
That we will continue to lay.
