Mindful Story
Today’s Mindfulness story is actually a poem about the pandemic.
When this is all over
And sanity’s restored
Don’t take life for granted
As we did before.
When this is all over
The clouds will all clear
Take hold of your loved ones
Hug and hold them near.
When this is all over
We’ll hear the birds sing
Listen to melodies
The Joy that they bring.
When this is all over
And children can play
Let them wild and free
To make up for lost days.
When this is all over
Remember the brave
Who wore scrubs and gowns
And the countless they saved.
Enjoy Mindful Monday
