Contemplate

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
