Got My Vaccination

Think back to a year ago

When we had the chance

To slow a deadly virus down,

But some folks looked askance.

The issue grew political

And then we saw instead

That due to lack of leadership

The virus spread and spread.

 

I received my vaccination.

Now I feel relief.

We have watched the COVID virus

Cause a lot of grief.

As we all get vaccinated

We will start to see

The benefits around the world

Of herd immunity.

 

As the virus spreads we notice

Variants arise.

But that is how they work, and so

It should be no surprise.

If we don't act quickly now

The variants might start

Resisting vaccines that we have.

But for now take heart.

 

I received my vaccination.

Now I feel relief.

We have watched the COVID virus

Cause a lot of grief.

As we all get vaccinated

We will start to see

The benefits around the world

Of herd immunity.

 

So get your vaccination.

Don't give up the fight.

Make the virus go away

By doing what is right.

A little side effect or two

And maybe a sore arm

Might well lie in store for you,

But no cause for alarm.

 

I received my vaccination.

Now I feel relief.

We have watched the COVID virus

Cause a lot of grief.

As we all get vaccinated

We will start to see

The benefits around the world

Of herd immunity.
