The Shape of Hope

Something just feels so right this week

Rays of hope have brightened the landscape bleak

After months of despair clouding the sky

Silver linings are here, and I cannot lie

That for the first time in many months now

Fear seems to be fading- I can finally allow

Hope to fill my heart as I display with pride

The vaccine shot that shows mankind’s stride

In taking back control from the virus that had brought

Misery to all of us, in ways we had not thought

Now human ingenuity and science have prevailed

Our ability to conquer every war has been unveiled

It is time to reclaim our lives, our freedom

Audaciously I claim the pandemic we shall soon overcome..
