We Are Strong, a poem by Georgia Marshall, 11

We Are Strong

By Georgia Marshall, 11

Fires burning across the globe
Porcelain crashing
True loves forced to see each other,
only through windows.

And when the sky is falling
Through a cracked glass mirror,
We have only a ray of hope
Shining through the storm.

We can find a way to breathe again,
If we stay strong.
We are strong, glowing warriors in masks.
We can make it through
Stop this virus.

We will link arms again
We just need to hold on
We are strong
