If the world were as careful in everyday life
Perhaps I’d be sick less, I’d feel much less strife
It’s the small precautions, like washing your hands
That for me distinguish from health and hospital land
Every day I must be careful, keep my distance, sanitize
If others always did the same, I’d live a very different life
For the immunocompromised, this is our normal
Doing what we can to enjoy life in a bubble
Its so nice to see those who are now doing their part
People are feeling compassion, acting with heart
They are covering their cough with their arm or elbow
And making hand sanitizer out of aloe
They’re scrubbing stores from top to bottom
Cleaning gyms twice a day- imagine if this were common?
I live my life in constant fear of infection
Others now feel this anxiety, so they’re feeling connection
Of course I wish it didn’t take a global pandemic
For others to become so empathetic
But when this all ends I’m hopeful for lasting changes
As people realize they can be asymptomatic but contagious
When this all ends, don’t stop thinking about your loved ones
Continue acting for those who live with daily precautions
When this all ends, remember what the fear felt like
Continue doing your part to help us live a normal life
Think of the elderly, and those with rare diseases
Remember your impact, and for goodness sake cover your sneezes
