It began in a plum tree

and quickly spread through the land

a strong steady motion

difficult to understand

Darkness reigned

death had a steady run

few could fight it

little could be done

A ray of light

vaccine on the horizon

the plight of many

dependent on the sun rising

Some were immune

growing stronger each day

taking care of the ill

spreading hope along the way

The forest shines now

full of light

the darkness has been conquered

the future is bright
