Sheltering in Place

In our midst

A virus with a mace

But barely a trace

Such shocking disgrace 

Sheltering in place

In this place of grace

Lost in time and space

Shrouded in a haze 

On my couch I laze

Living in a daze

Through this lonely phase

Moving at slow pace

I lift my weary face

Here within this maze

Where I yearn for grace

To survive these days

 

When this is the case

Covid won’t deface

Nor its steps retrace

 

Then hands will we lace

All of us embrace

As one human race

On God we will gaze

All our voices raise

To God whom we praise

-Sr. Magdalena Vogt
