30 Poems, 30 Days 2020: New Normal (Day 30)

When we return, we’ll be in the new normal
Let’s not rush there yet until it’s safe
We’ve lost too much already
It will take planning, work, and time
I believe it will be worth it when we do
We can see the changes now
A lot of people being more cautious
Technology used for good more than ever
We need it to educate, work remote, and connect
Yet not everyone has access and we must change that
Our new normal means wearing masks until a vaccine
Social distancing is the key, as much as we can
We can’t be part of intermission forever
So we need to create space in each building
Blended learning could be an educational revolution
We’ll need to be creative to change how we work
We can’t go back to the way things were
Only look back to the past to see all we’ve overcome
That even our difficulties lead us to victories
That even we cannot imagine yet
I’ve studied enough history and stories to know
We’ll find a new normal that changes the future
It’s up to all of us taking the best steps forward
I believe it will lead to better chapters ahead
