Oahu looking good

History will remember when the world stopped. And the flights stayed on the ground.

And the cars parked in the street, and the trains didn't run.

History will remember when the schools closed, and the children stayed indoors.

And the medical staff walked towards the fire, and they didn't run.
 

History will remember when the people sang, on their balconies.

In isolation, but so very much together, in courage and song.
 

History will remember when the people fought for their old and their weak,

Protected the vulnerable by doing nothing at all.
 

History will remember when the virus left, And the houses opened 

And the people came out And hugged and kissed And started again
 

Kinder than before. ~ Donna Ashworth
