Living in isolation
with the ones you love,
You may curse the ground below
or thank the skies above.
Tension comes round fast,
anxiety, panic and fear.
We’re all in this together,
praise for out town we hear.
Getting odd things done
round the house and yard.
It’s all looking good,
Canada we stand on guard.
Keeping social distancing
to keep the virus away.
They’re working on a vaccine,
the world waiting for that day.
In the meantime
we carry on each day.
Doing the little things
to make the Covid go away.
Poet Tami Myram lives in the
North Thompson Valley community
of Barriere, B.C.
