A Poem for the Graduates of 2020

Amidst all the chaos and strife of this year


You might have felt trepidation or even some fear


COVID-19, deaths of classmates and friends


Made you wonder inside if bad news ever ends


Then murder and protests and riots and more


Made you believe only bad news is ever in store

But I must reassure you, it is good news I bring

Not just sunshine and roses because it is spring

Yes bad things do ...
