From the National Mall to the Next Street: Hope is Blossoming Among the Challenges

From the National Mall to the Next Street:
Hope is blossoming among the challenges;
(We join this poem already in progress)
By Anonymous

Some beautiful sights, amidst these challenging times;
So many people dedicated and bright,
Working so very hard,
Days and most nights
Through these challenging times.

To help students of all ages,
Learn safely and to thrive,
Working with so many dedicated people,
Teachers, educator, and scientists and the like,
Striving for solutions
Amidst these challenging times.

At many Federal agencies,
And at state and local levels,
Public and private,
Cutting burdens, providing support, and sharing lessons learned,
And giving some promise--
To help everyone--
Through these (local, state, national, and international)
Challenging times.

I stand optimistic and inspired that--
Amidst the blossoming and the challenges of this spring.
So many are doing their share (and more)
Doing more than just their thing.

So I am sharing these sights and a sense filled with hope
There are so many new lessons still to be learned,
Allowing us to cope,
And new creativity to be inspired and shared,
And new friendships to be made, showing we care.

New inventions and breakthroughs,
For now and the future, that just lies ahead.
So I am sharing just some simple rhymes,
To help us through these challenging times.
