This Too Shall Pass

I long for the day to leave my den

To roam the streets by night and day

To venture out without a fear

To embrace the ones that I hold dear.

Scrubbed the house and baked some bread

Mowed the lawn and cleared the shed

Helped the children with their math

Helped my neighbour feed the dogs and cats.

I try hard to keep at bay

All my worries and concerns

I restrain my troubled mind

And try to ease my weary heart.

I pray every single day

For humanity to be saved

And I hope that this will pass

To continue with my life.
