This is for all the dead plants that died alone in empty offices
because no one cared enough
to take them home when they left to quarantine
This is for all the chocolate bunnies and marshmallow peeps
who will sit forlorn on a shelf in Walgreens
because toilet paper is more important than Easter candy
This is for piles of fresh produce that are rotting in fields
because farm workers are not allowed to cross the border
or they are languishing in immigration prison camps
This is for all concerned Christians
who won’t go to a large celebration this weekend
because they understand that Jesus healed the sick
and never said they had to go to church to be saved
This is for all the wafers and grape juice that will go stale or spoil
because you can’t sanctify over wifi
or eat and drink during virtual communion
This is for all the small business owners who are floundering
because the personalized touch they provide
could be a death sentence
This is for all health care providers who are in the trenches
of this pandemic war who may become sick
or die keeping us alive – thank you for your service
