A Little White Rabbit Told Me


A little white rabbit told me
perk up and don't despair
look around at all the helpers
giving and doing without reward.

Lean on friends and relatives
and folks from far and near
you have phones and social media
folks had naught from yesteryear.

Truckers, delivery drivers, stockists,
farmers, grocery & hardware clerks
help pull us through these times
and remind us of what's important.

Small business owners face devastation
still many innovate ways to make it through
drawing upon creativity and ingenuity
learning new skills to help others.

Nurses & doctors face more than we know
police, fire and EMT also are stretched thin
unemployed, poor, homeless, and vulnerable too
in comparison our lives are easy.

A little white rabbit told me
please stay at home
be thankful for what you have
soon you'll be free to roam.
