One Year Later, A Poem For Everyone Who’s Been Suffering from COVID-19

By David P. Carroll

Our world has changed

Like never before

And our lives have changed to

And so many families suffering

Every day and this virus is here to stay

And we were all caught and unaware and it’s sadness

In the air and Isolated from family and friends

And there’s know happiness or joy today

It’s just an other loved one who’s passed away

And coronavirus walks among us every day

And we try our best to struggle through

This horrible coronavirus storm

And the hurt and pain it’s brought us and

There’s nothing much to gain and our

Peace and love has all gone away

And it’s silent tears all day and I’ve been

Crying on the inside so you can’t see

And all the pain running though me

Coronavirus coronavirus when will you ever

Go away and I cry for the loved ones who have

Passed away and so if you listen you may hear my silent tears

Every day and I’m lost without you in my life and

The world has changed so much

Coronavirus is not going away

And the darkness surrounds the world today

And it’s so cold and painful every day and

I feel the chill up and down my spine every day

And our warm hugs and soft kisses

Have just all faded away and

Just like our loved ones today

And nobody to hold at night

And nobody to whisper I love you goodnight

And as a lonely tear rolls down my face

I try to smile and remember her beautiful face

But I promise you all I’ll love

And pray for everyone

Who’s been suffering from coronavirus Every day.
