In the year when the world stood still,
Whispers of fear the air did fill.
A virus unseen, a threat so real,
In its shadow, the earth did kneel.
Silent streets and shuttered doors,
Hopes washed ashore on distant shores.
Yet in this night, so dark, so long,
We found strength, we found our song.
Hands washed in solitude's silent prayer,
Hearts united in a global care.
Through screens, we touched, across miles we smiled,
Innovation born from the trials, beguiled.
A melody of resilience, a chorus bold,
Stories of courage, of warmth in the cold.
Though apart, together we stand,
A world connected, hand in hand.
In the shadow of COVID, we learned to thrive,
Found new ways to feel alive.
A testament to the human spirit's might,
Together we'll emerge, into the light.
