Community poem

Daddy do you see

Your children looking happy

Smiling despite the panic

Healthy despite the crisis

I'm sorry to say I can't go to church every Sunday

Like how we used to do 

Every Sunday, just me and you sometimes

Because your other children are older 

And moving on with their life

No longer at home

And Mom is working 

so she'll be tired by the time we are ready to go

But it's fine just me and you,

Me and you being the Ushers

Bringing the gifts down the aisle

And everyone knows our face

Always greeting us saying hi or bye

Surprisingly they know my name

But I don't think I ever said it

It was probably you because I know you're a proud dad 

That always talks about his children

I can't go to our regular 5:30 mass

I can't go Usher for the both of us

I can't go to church this time 

Because the world is in a dilemma

But I have YouTube so I'm fine

I can watch the the mass at home

It's the church that brother always goes to

It's a bit farther away from home

But luckily technology makes it work

I also think it's the church that my nephews did their communion at

And you'd be proud of know we're still staying in touch

We even had a family game night the other day

We're lucky to have phones and computers

You'd be proud of your son because he hosted it

You're probably laughing at our competitiveness

All of us trying to justify one more point for our self

The squabble between my nephew and me

On who said it first

But I know you're on my side

Because I'm your little princess

Your sweetest little child

So Dad, please do watches but don't worry

Because if you're watching you'll see

The family still standing strong
