Grandparents being taken
without a chance to say goodbye,
grandchildren left devastated
and asking for the reason why.
No final embrace as a stranger
stands by their side,
a stranger battling heroically
to try and turn back this tide.
A tsunami of death
is heading our way,
as brave heroes fight the surge
the rest of us pray.
Grandparents being buried
without their loved ones near,
grandchildren watch from a distance
their eyes filled with tears.
