This is true, when you look at so many things that we had to deal with in the past, this too will pass away one day. Thank God we have people who are educated in these areas and are right on it.
You have it written so nice, the font, color are nice also.
Good luck in the contest.

This is a great contest entry, Mystery Author. Your image is a perfect pairing with your well-chosen words. I like the way you formatted your lines. They read well with good flow, food imagery, good rhymes, and a 'mother knows best attitude.' Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

My favorite part was, "So be vigilant, strong, and this virus we'll weather.
Soon this too shall pass and we'll win this fight.", because it inspires us to be unified in this crisis and to have hope!

The Lord led me to these verses after I read this,

Psalm 37:7-9 New International Version (NIV)

7 Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret--it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

What a perfect use of the Acrostic form, to offer hope in these dark times. That you did it in rhyme was very welcome, especially as your rhymes are so well chosen. I love that you tell your story clearly and in full sentences, and don't make the reader feel as though they were thrown in merely to match the necessary first letter.

(worst s/b worse; comma after strong) Very nice work on the acrostic; doesn't sound forced as most do--wouldn't have noticed it was acrostic!
Flows well, good choice of rhyming words. Cheers. LIZ

Beautifully written and presented, if I may ask " hope grows scarce the worst it gets" should "worst" be (worse?), loved the read, very well done and best wishes for your contest****kahpot
