Queen Corona

Dear Friends,

Enjoy this Covid-19 version of the traditional Passover song, Dayenu (It would have been enough for us).  Happy Easter to those celebrating. 
 

Queen Corona  (Dayenu alternative)

If we only learn to stay calm and not panic, 
It will be enough for us.

If we only learn to take care of our loved ones and help our families every day,  
It will be enough for us.

If we only learn to find meaning in slowing down and staying home, 
It will be enough for us. 

If we only learn to appreciate all that our teachers do,
It will be enough for us. 

If we only learn to respect our delivery drivers and grocery clerks, 
It will be enough for us. 

If we only learn to show gratitude to our nurses and doctors,
It will be enough for us. 

If we only learn to let Nature heal,
It will be enough for us.

If we only learn to unite in a crisis,
It will be enough for us. 

If we only learn to develop an economy that fairly compensates our gig workers,
It will be enough for us. 

If we only learn to take care of every marginalized and disenfranchised demographic, 
It will be enough for us.

If we only learn to create a health care system that values every ONE (regardless of race, age, religion, gender, occupation, income, citizenship status, etc.), It will be enough for us. 

If we only learn to share our resources (including masks) with people in all nations, 
It will be enough for us. 

If we only learn to keep talking, listening, and connecting with each other across all distances (whether far greater or lesser than six feet ), It will be enough for us. 

If we only learn to teach our children that they can make the world better after Covid-19,
It will be enough for us.

If we only learn to hope, love, forgive, and find goodness, 
It will be enough for us.    – Lauren Zinn
