Spring-20

Patrycja Wanat, 13

 Kite tails should be in the sky, 

Bees are flying by.
Spring has arrived!
Everyone should be bright,
But not this year,
Because we’re all filled with fear
From COVID-19,
We are waiting for a vaccine.
Somehow we have to cope,
And we can only have hope,
That this coronavirus will go away.
We pray
Everyday
That everything can go back to the way it was
Because
People are losing jobs,
People are losing something everyday
And that is not okay.
Coronavirus if you’re reading this,
please stop doing this!
