HE IS A FIRM SHOULDER YOU CAN LEAN ON (COVID19 POEM)

HE IS A FIRM SHOULDER YOU CAN LEAN ON (COVID19 POEM)

the wind howling through the empty streets
the silence of the festival drums and the absence at the adventure peaks
the empty markets and the lack of feasts
oh no, the effects of the pandemic is unleashed

the schools have been shut down
the students have been sent home
we’ve been separated from each other
with our noses covered, it has become a bother

we are huddled together at home
suspicions breed at every sneeze, fever, running nose
our hearts are alert with worry
about our future that is fraught with uncertainties

however, our love for each other should not wax cold
just as our love for Christ will always grow
He said that by His stripes we are healed
Hence, we should trust that will not fall ill

our faith in God creates a shield for us
if we put our trust in God, we will never be lost
all we need to do is to spread the Word
at every little gathering, congregation or home church

yes the churches might have been closed down
yes the economy might have been shut down
but all these shall soon pass away
the Lord shall soon find us a way

in this crisis, a solution is found
remembering His promises will keep u safe
His Word stands as a firm shoulder
you can lean on it anytime
