For almost two years parents and children have feared falling prey to a virus.

Once the parents were safe, their protection instilled, then Covid raged forward despite this.

Because some refused to do what they should, to get the vaccine for the children.

So for months children waited, in vigilance stood, to be free from the threat that might kill them.

So cheers for the children who can now have protection from the ones who refused to agree.

Who anxiously waited to get their injection so their families could finally be free.

The parents who held constant watch understand the storm their family has weathered.

They cry as their bare armed little one, says “Let’s hold hands, we got through this together”.
