Coronavirus Too Shall Pass

Coronavirus too shall pass and become the past,
This attack can't continue; surely it won't last.
All we need is be hopeful & stick on like glue.
"Tough times don't last, tough people do."

All of us are on the same boat now; united we stand.
Our world has a common enemy; we understand.
As each of us battles coronavirus- deadly & invisible,
To win this war, let's be optimistic & responsible.

No colour, gender, border, religion, region or race,
Time to show our nerves of steel & our brave face.
Our contribution can help our world in this fight.
#StayHomeStaySafe & Social Distancing is right.

An Inspiring Story

This is for the Write Tribe Festival Of Words- Day 5- Inspiring Story

From my memory, I am sharing this Inspiring Story that I had read earlier:

In a small town, there was a meeting at the local Church. The grave issue was that there had been no rain in that part of the country. It was decided that every resident would assemble at the Church that Sunday and all would pray to the Lord for rain.

The young and old, everyone made it to the Church to pray for rain.

The Priest found that only one little girl had got an Umbrella to the venue.

When he asked her why she had got the Umbrella there, she convincingly replied, "When we pray for rain, it will rain & I don't like getting wet!"

Yes, it rained cats and dogs after everyone had prayed....

There is power in life. We just need to recognize the worth & hold on to our Umbrella!

I always remind myself this story whenever I want a certain outcome or if things are not going my way.

I feel we all have an Umbrella that can  shield us from all that we do not wish... All we need is to carry our Umbrella intact & safe and sound and use it wisely!


Here's my small poem :

Let us employ this Umbrella to say bye to negativity!
A positive outlook & faith works in any and every city!

Give faith a chance, true belief & confidence will do.
Success is sure in the Universe with Faith as glue!

Let us always light the candle of faith- that's sensible!
To be inspired is great; to inspire is incredible!
