Here we are at a distance, you show me your smile, then send me an air hug.

I pretend it’s a big bear hug, and if I close my eyes I can feel the love.

Knowing this will be just for a while.

So show me your smile, while we keep our distance.

Thank you to our dedicated essential workers who are there helping us all.

Let’s give them a big bear hug, and send them our love.

We are all in this together, be safe, be strong, keep your social distance.

Veronica Woelfle
