Poems of Pandemic Days by Alice Curley

In your life, you’ll be brave, kind, and caring

You’ll be unfair, angry, and hurtful

You’ll hate yourself, scare someone, save someone

You’ll do what’s right and not give up

You’ll lose hope and find it again

You’ll let someone in and let someone go

You’ll say I “love you.” before it’s too late

You will be both Beauty and the Beast

Of not so long ago
