A Cross Placed Outside A Local Church For Us To See
Each One A Symbol Of A Person Who No Longer Ceases To Be
Who Has Been Taken By This Deadly Curse
A Stark Visual Reminder Of It At Its Worst, We Hope And Pray
A Place Now To Sit And Reflect
To Pay Our Respects To Those Who Have Lost Their Lives This Year So Far
How Many More Do We Need To Add To This Score
This Is Up To Us
This Is Within Our Grasp
To Do What’s Asked Of Us
No More, No Less
Just Do Your Best
Live The Best Life You Can
We Are Not Through This Yet
But We Can See The Light Shine Bright
At The End Of This Tunnel
We Just Have To Keep Going,
Hold Firm
For Each Other Family, Stranger And Friend
So Take Some Time To Apprehend
To Contemplate Our Fate
As We Take Each Others Virtual Hand
And Walk Out Of Our Gates
To Start Afresh, Anew, A Way To Live Our Lives
With So Many Things Changed, Having To Be Rearranged
It Will Be Strange And Feel Scary At First
But We Have Already Shown We Can Stick The Course
“We are In It For The Long Haul, And The Long Haul Requires Courage”
So Place Your Courage Into Your Hands
As We Start To Navigate Our Fair Land Once More
That Was Just A Wishful Thought We Held Before
While Life Is Being Lived
Behind Our Front Door
