A Poem by Donna Ashworth:

History will remember when the world stopped.
And the flights stayed on the ground.
And the cars parked in the street
And the trains didn’t run.
History will remember when the schools closed.
And the children stayed indoors.
And the medical staff walked towards the fire
And they didn’t run.
History will remember when the people sang on their balconies, in isolation.
But so very much together
in courage and song.
History will remember when the people fought
For their old and their weak
Protected the vulnerable
By doing nothing at all.
History will remember when the virus left
And the houses opened
And the people came out
And hugged and kissed
And started again.
Kinder than before.
May it be so. Amen.
