Time may change us
And all that we’ve become
Suddenly all of the scars
The battle wounds
We’ve inflicted on one another
Pales in the light of this New
——-
I think about all that we know
All of you
And I think
How lucky I have been
To see all of us happy
All of us cry
To see us dancing
Drinking
Living
To see you singing
I think about all of us working the front lines
Those who are in face masks
How all you see are eyes
But you learn you can see a smile
Feel a smile
And
I think
How lucky I have been ….
To be alive for this…
To see you right now
We are together
Right now
In this night
You’re a good nurse
You’re a good neighbour
You’re a good person
Reaching out
Staying in
Keeping hope
We will live to fight another day
We will live to love
Another day
