The COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID -19 Pandemic

It started in China, and when it did arrive

People were put into quarantine, fighting to stay alive

It's given everyone, quite a scare

When it got closer, we all became aware

It could be me, or it could be you

Those with no immune system, wondered if they'd get through

It spreads so quickly, anyone you see

Could have it, and give it to me

I try to stay calm, but I'm scared as hell

Who will survive this, only time will tell

Keep your distance from people, wipe off everything you use

Wash your hands often, keep following the health rules

Don't shake hands, in case they have it without knowing

It's invisible, but there are ways it'll be showing

Fever, shortness of breath, or even a cough can be a mild case

But if you're feeling worse, the Hospital is your place

Call your Doctor, and they'll know what to do

There will be others around, who will help you through

You are not alone, others are around

They'll guide you through, they're easily found

Relax and live your life, from day to day

Limit your public appearance, to keep it away

It's okay not to be social, in fact be a recluse

Limit yourself, to what you see or hear in the news

The COVID-19 Virus is scary! But if you follow the rules to keep it away,

you should be okay. There is always someone around to talk to.

Online, on the phone, etc. Sit back and take the time to read, watch

some TV, call a friend or family member. Write a poem. Do some

crafts. Enjoy the time to yourself. Be at peace, and know that

you are never alone.
