We Are Grateful!

Dear diary,

Still noticing my blessings today,

We are grateful we have internet,

We are grateful we have the sound of birds in the morning and not the echo of guns,

We are grateful we have good food, books, and our family with us,

We are grateful, we are fearless at our homes,

We are grateful we have our grandparents to tell their stories,

We are grateful we have our cousins to chill with,

We are grateful we have doctors trying to save us,

We are grateful we have workers and officers caring for us,

Syria, Kashmir, Palestine, Rohingya, Yemen, Gaza, faced the same lockdown without all these,

We fear imagining, They survived!
