A time to guard, a time to care...

A time to guard, a time to care,

To shun the needless buys and meetings,

A time to touch through soul, not hand,

And trust that all will find its healing.

A time to break the habits known,

So loved ones may remain alive,

A time to see in days grown dim,

That even then, we must survive —

As humans still, with hearts that shine,

Through shadowed days and silent time.
