Poems of Pandemic Days by Alice Curley

Dear Mister Squirrel
Boldly sitting on my porch
May I ask you a question
The world has changed around you
Yet you are not scared
How can that be so
When did you lose all your fear
Was it gradual
Did it happen all at once
Was it just today
That you got so brave
Tell me your secret
Of how you found your courage
Mine has gone missing
Is it there outside with you
