Hey friend,
This is a poem/ song of a first-hand account of life during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the urge to quarantine, people would go months without seeing friends and others not living in the same space. During this difficult time, we must remember to find ways to stay connected, such as video chatting and text messaging. The poem/song attempts to capture those feelings of uncertainty and longing for interaction during this time.
