And from there I could never have guessed

How everything was thrown out of place,

Because of a small and unseen pest.

I could never have imagined how none would be able to embrace,

How in all places everyone would be stressed,

The gravity of such a disgrace,

And now everyone is hard-pressed.

No!  I could never have imagined this.

I saw the Earth from outer space,

And from there I saw the beauty of this sphere

That resembled a jewel in a ring

And how it was full of grace,

With its clouds of white

Swaying like a wedding veil in its heights.

Yet, the world is hit by blight,

And only patience can win this fight.

Then I supposed that the Earth is like a bride

Whose veil conceals the tears she cried.

But it will be alright young girl,

Eventually this chapter will die.

As I saw the Earth turn,

I saw a bride dance,

And there passed away all concern,

As the night gave into day’s advance.

Then I saw the bride smile,

And I too smiled.

And I realized that it will only be a while,

Until the end of this trial and pain,

And then we too will dance and embrace again.
