A microscopic virus, increasing in intensity
Challenges our claims to be superior beings
In charge of our destiny.
We look beyond fears, to new ways of living
As the certain finality of our present reality
Leads to greater giving.
Tapping into creativity offers more scope
In caring for others, our sisters and brothers
Finding new rays of Hope.
Acknowledging God, in every land
As caring for all, the great and the small
Holding each one in the palm of His hand.
