When Will It Be Safe?
Avery Hibbs
From messing around with our Closest friends whenever we please To our only means of interaction Allowed being through a screen. When will it be safe to meet Face to face again?
From going to work four or Five days a week To work completely shutting Down for months at a time. When will it be safe to work again?
From expanding our knowledge In school every day To all schooling being moved Virtually for the rest of the year. When will it be safe to learn In person again?
From going to the gym every Week for a nice workout To being forced to find effective Ways to exercise from home. When will it be safe to work outagain?
From gathering with loved ones Whenever we long to see them

To having to refrain for the Safety of everyone's health. When will it be safe to cherish Family again?
From going to the mall to shop For fun on the weekends To shopping having to be done Online and shipped to your doorstep. When will it be safe to shop again?
From throwing big parties and Events to celebrate milestones And accomplishments with the Ones we love most To only being allowed very few People at any type of gathering. When will it be safe to celebrate again?
From counting down the days Until the next family vacation To having to cancel and reschedule Trips due to travel bans. When will it be safe to travel again?
