Many people young and old are familiar with Dr. Seuss poems and stories. Because of that familiarity, it’s the perfect time to share a wonderful poem that offers a different view point of our current experience. The poem was written using the traditional Dr. Seuss rhyme which bestows that unique lightness and brevity many have come to love. The unknown author truly found a way to share an uplifting message of hope, patience and an eye opening perspective.

“I imagine if Dr. Seuss were alive today, he’d write something like this:
The buildings were big and people would smile
And travel they would mile by mile.
But sick they become, in numbers it grew
Businesses worried, communities too.
Things stopped for a bit, the world slowed its roll
The virus has certainly taken its toll.
But what they then saw from slowing things down,
Is in fact they now had less reasons to frown.
Families now gathered, what game shall we play?
Pass me the blue crayon, give Mommy the grey.
Dad’s home guys! He’ll read us a book
then all of us together will cook.
The lungs of the planet caught a small break
less travel meant less pollution to make.
People did realize they’d all be OK
They don’t need so much to get through the day.
Maybe this virus that caused so much stress
Showed the whole world that more can mean less.
