Solace

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES


Solace

At times of hardship
When the weight of the world
Comes down on you with the force
Of eternal woe

Seek solace in the ones you love
Seek comfort in joyful memories
Discover truth in acts of kindness
Find warmth in words you treasure
Hold onto the grace in pleasing melodies
Take heart in familiar passions
Take refuge in the love of family
And welcome the love of friends

We will survive these wretched times
To emerge stronger and more wise
But it will steal so many hours
And it will cost so many lives

Seek solace for the harm will pass
While love kindness and faith will last
