We Are Safe for the Moment

May 2, 2020

We are safe for the moment 
We are loved at this time
I am grateful to be together
And bask in the sublime

To hear them laugh
To see them smile
To shed a tear
Crash for a while

The world will continue 
And this too shall pass
Holding on to happiness
And making each moment last

I call my parents
Just to hear their voice
To know they are okay
Fills my heart with joy

And I hear them laugh
I miss their smiles
I shed a tear 
And feel better after a while

The world will continue 
And hope will return
The sun still rises each day
And infants are still being born

Hear their cries
Well they’re just getting attention
Hear their sighs
Content without pretention

So it’s okay to cry
We need to once in a while
Sometimes we sigh
Before we can stand and smile….

I hear them laugh
I see them smile
I shed my fears
And play for a while…
