I wake up in the morning
And it feels the same
The sun shines
The birds sing
But I don’t go about my day

Instead I pause and reflect
Not by choice or will
But because humanity was bestowed a rare yet cruel gift

We all sit and wait
Many of us pray for better days
But within the fear of the unknown
We find something we thought was gone

Deep within our busy routines
Constant demands and lack of peace
We finally find time

Time to remember who we are
Time to care
Time to share

Time to figure out what really matters and time to give back

One day soon, hopefully very soon, this break will end
Not without sorrow and certainly with a fair amount of learnings

When this day comes we will be better, we will be stronger, we will be kinder…

We will be human; again.
