The virus came  
With stealth unknown  
No ear could hear 
Nor eye could see 

Our lives untouched 
Or so it seemed 
We lived as if 
No threat was near 

The streets were full 
And shops packed out 
Let’s eat and drink 
Be merry too 

The Parties fought 
And neighbors too 
The trivial 
Did so consume 

While death did lurk 
Our minds ignored 
We lived as if 
Life ne’er would end 

But virus still 
Advanced its course 
It had one goal 
To so disrupt  

And while it lurked  
So many scoffed 
They did not give 
It second thought  

But soon just one 
Did become two 
And two was ten 
Then thousands more 

But we are fine 
Too big to fail 
Our genius sure 
Our nation strong  

Advance it did 
The virus sure 
Its mission clear 
Though not to us 

The cries were faint 
At first it seemed 
But faint did grow 
And tears did flow 

The old and weak 
Were first to go 
But soon the young 
Would fall as well 

Our leaders knew 
Not what to do 
From day to day 
Their minds did change 

The streets grew still 
And shops did close 
The air now clean 
While homes did fill 

As virus struck 
We did retreat  
Our lives transformed 
To test our truth 

We found that all 
We did pursue  
While it was good 
Was not the best 

The virus struck 
With fury full 
Soon we did bow  
And called above 

Our minds transfixed 
From stuff below 
And that of worth  
Became so real 

Our eyes grew moist  
And hearts did fall 
Our minds did turn 
To God’s dear Son 

As death consumed 
The ones we loved 
Our love did grow 
For those in need 

Those ones we ne’er 
Reached out or touched 
Were now the ones 
We wished to hold 

For God at work 
Was changing me 
His power to work 
Such good through bad 

And then it dawned 
As bright as morn 
All things do work 
For good to them 

To them who love 
Our God above  
Who’re the called 
His Purpose theirs 

So even if 
This virus claims 
My life or yours 
It will not change 

I’ll trust in Him 
I will not fear  
For God is mine 
And He is near 

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
