Let Today Be A Day Of Hope Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Today I read a story
A similar story happened yesterday
And probably will happen again tomorrow
This is not a dream
This story is happening all over the world
It's repeating itself
Under the auspices of a pandemic
It's a story of a young man or woman or mother or father
It's a story of children, teenagers, adults and the elderly
A story of people losing their lives
A story of death due to Covid-19 disease
It's not a story for bedtime
It's a story for all of us
To listen
To pray
To put on our masks
To wash or sanitize our hands more frequently
To be safe and practice social distancing
Let us let today be the day we come together
Under the tabernacle of our hearts
And clothe ourselves
With the spirit of humanity
Let today be a day of hope
