I was very excited to receive some beautiful photos of children beginning their home learning with a prayer.
Parade College published a poem by Donna Ashworth in their newsletter this week. I think this poem is a timely reflection about what we are all currently experiencing.
History Will Remember
History will remember when the world stopped
And the flights stayed on the ground.
And the cars parked in the street.
And the trains didn’t run.
History will remember when the schools closed
And the children stayed indoors
And the medical staff walked towards the fire
And they didn’t run.
History will remember when the people sang
On their balconies, in isolation
But so very much together
In courage and song.
History will remember where the people fought
For their old and their weak
Protected the vulnerable
By giving their all.
History will remember when the virus left
And the houses opened
And the people came out
And hugged and kissed
And started again.
Kinder than before……
