It Took A Pandemic

It took a Pandemic

To bring us together

While pulling

Us apart.

It took a Pandemic

For us to take a moment

And breathe in

The fresh air.

It took a Pandemic

To make us realize

What really matters.

It took a Pandemic

To make us look

To goodness.

It took a Pandemic

To shift our focus

And appreciate

The little things

We took for granted

Like a breath

Of fresh air.

It took a Pandemic

To make us realize

We truly do

Need one another.
